Description

My first forage into the inner workings of Bryce's Deep Texture Editor. I did a lot of research on aeolian erosion (wind erosion) of rocks and found some excellent reference material at the Wind Erosion and Water Conservation site of the USDA. The rocks themselves were modelled in Amorphium 1.0. The patterning on the sand dunes was also basedon my photos of the Sossusvlei dunes in the Namib Desert. The figures were created in Poser, and based on sketches and character studies I made with my wife and other friends as models. The extreme corrosion of the metal carcass of the space ship was created from scratch in Bryce's Deep Texture Editor. The ship itself was modelled in Rhino3D and them combined as a boolean object with Bryce terrains. Again the folk at Bryce Forum helped me with suggestions and URLs. My gratitude and thanks to you all! Post-rendering was done with my newly acquired Corel PhotoPaint 10. Work was done mainly on the joints and anatomical faults on both figures, but apart from a slight Adaptive Unsharp filter, no other work was done.. Some of the custom materials I created for this image are available for download. (LATE BREAKING NEWS: With a complete hard drive meltdown recently I lost all the original Poser and Bryce files for this image. I lost the image as well, but was able to retrieve a version from my archive on my website. I now backup all my files each week!)
