Description
I have been modelling and remodelling these ships for quite some time, forever being pushed on and on by my mentor David Robinson aka *bambam131*.
The total poly count in all three models here is perverse to say the least, i will post a wire shot over the weekend, its not as pretty as Dave's but it'll give you some idea.
Modelled by myself with credit for Carl Whalen aka *screaminbytes* for the nose cone of the mother ship which was made in 3ds Max, component parts made in Rhino and .3dsmax (and i mean little twiddly bits that i learned from Carl, man i wish i could use other programmes LOL.
Everything you see was rendered together in one scene in Bryce 4, built, sworn at, sworn at some more and matted by myself, lens flares created using universe jpg conversion psp.
Credits:Babylon 5, starwars, star trek, battlestar galactica, to name a few, ideas from ships, planets, scenes taken aboard and mashed together to make what you see, its something im never happy with but its hard to make Bryce do what i want it to do, my brain has too may ideas and as such its frustrating knowing that i cannot put to screen what i want to do, but, im forever trying to push the boundries that i have to deal with.
Dave Robinson has been like a brother to me over the years and was the first person ever to comment on my beginnings with Bryce back in 2002, if it was not for him i would have never carried on, for inspiring me, for being the true boolean master and most of all for being a bro to us all here, thankyou.
Right i'll shut up now, but want to say thankyou once again for everyones kindness and words of encouragement.
Have a great weekend everyone
Steve :)

That's a gorgeous piece of art--I love the shapes and how the lights on the ships are echoed in the lights on the ground, and the grand scale of it all! (And Dave Robinson is awesome!)

An amazing image Bro, the modeling is awesome and the lighting and background is excellent! The detail of this ship is mind blowing. I think that you should show all the different sections of the ship to allow people here to understand how much work and detail that you have put into these baby's! The detail in the engine section alone is fantastic. This just shows what can be done with Bryce in the right hands and you my friend have the skills to create these complex models. All the best, David

I found you while visiting my buddy's gallery (KnightWolverine)I also read your Bio. I've been around since 2003 use Lightwave, Rhino, Cad, and others but Bryce was and is my fav., to the present. A long list of my friends and great artists have left this site over the years. I myself deleted two galleries, came back re started again. I've been thinking of leaving again in the last few months but for some reason after seeing your works I may just stick around. I don't know you but something moved me to leave you these words. I'll be following your works. I like what you do with good old Bryce. Very Best Regards

Hi thelordofdragons, Very nice image, I like the ship's beauty shot, the back planet, the ship design itself and the way all melts together into a great compo ! Somewhere reminds me of the old-style "TTA-era" paints I loved so much in the '80s... Like Peter Elson, Chriss Foss, Chris Moore and some others... I'll look for "David Robinson aka bambam131", his works must be astounding ! Between that and your Zects, I definitely put you in my favorites ^-^ @+ Benoît 'Mutos' ROBIN Hoshikaze 2250 Project

You are an amazing Bryce Artist just like Bambam131 you are incredible. I hope to one day get to this level but doubt I will because you can make things I never thought possible. Well Done Karl
