Hi, everyone! Thanks for dropping by at Gene's Place.
BIO
I'm a 59-year-old novice artist who only somewhat recently discovered Bryce. I live in USA's Pacific Northest (Spokane, WA). I don't have a life, but I *DO* have Bryce, DAZ Studio and a Renderosity Gallery...;^D
Discovering "consumer" 3D applications at a time when they're rapidly becoming both more powerful and more affordable has been a Godsend for me. My finger/manual dexterity is abysmal, making attempts at "traditional" art laughable. On a shoestring budget I cobbled together a Power Mac G4 system with just enough power to run Bryce 5.5 and DAZ Studio at slightly-faster-than-molasses speed. At the start of June '06 I bought Bryce 5.5 Jumpstart and installed DAZ Studio. I've been experimenting with Bryce extensively on a daily basis since then, and I'm learning a little about DS as I go.
Update May '08: I no longer consider myself a novice at 3D art, but I still have a lot to learn. I can't say I really *understand* the software (a lot of 3D art terminology still goes over my head - LOL!) but I'm comfortable enough with Bryce and DS to feel OK calling myself an artist. I've acquired a few other apps (most notably Carrara and MojoWorld) and promised myself that I'll at least learn the basics of one of them this year. I now work with a much more adequate system, a Digital Audio Power Mac G4 with dual 1.6 GHz CPUs and 1.5 GB RAM. I dream of a Quad Xeon Mac Pro, but what I have now should suffice until I hit the lottery...;^O

That looks pretty good! I wonder who they're fighting?

I like the characters here.. both them, the backdrop and the render is well done. That said, if there were shadows under the barbarians, they would feel much more grounded in the backdrop. Right now, they feel like they are floating in it rather than grounded to it. I'm not sure how Daz Studio handles this, though. I've never tried to do it in Daz.

Very good looking picture. Nice use of multiple packages to put together some great characters.

Cool stuff! I agree with the earlier comment: a single strong shadow-throwing light would make this good scene a really great one. I would probably hit them from the right-front as that matches the light direction in the background too. (Either a strong distant light or a spotlight, shadowmasking on.) I love the action poses and the outfits! Great job!
