Description

Adding a single human figure totally changed this image. The person implies a story, and a quest.

I welcome any suggestions on how to improve this image.

The person give the picture scale. Good pic, but you need to do something with the middle structre. Offset it or something, it doesn't look right in the middle.

Yes, I made the ships myself, but I certainly would never try to make anything this complex just using Bryce. Modeling something like this with the Bryce primitives is nearly impossible. I used a quirky Japanese modeling program called DOGA. The basic DOGA-1 modeler is free, has lots of primitives just for creating machines, and let's you export to common 3D formats. I highly recommend it for SF art. DOGA-L2 is shareware, but it has even more primitives, and you don't have to register it to just create models. You can find them at:

The person is a simple Poser figure. You can find lots of them online.

Tuttle, thanks for your feedback, but could you be a little more specific? Two things that are little weird about the middle ship are: 1) The transparency map makes the central column so decayed that it doesn't look capable of remaining standing, and 2) it isn't settled into the sand as much as the other ships. Could either of these be the issue?

Models and textures are excellent, but I agree with tuttle. I would lower the central structure and rotate it a bit to the left, such that is burried more in the sand and you don't see that little patch sky from underneith anymore

Yes excellent Textures and the Doga ships are great...I use Doga myself and love the different parts but I cant wait to get Doga 3...

I generally concur with the opinions above. But. that apart, I love the scene. I can see where the addition of the figure changed everything. If this is 'the Graveyard of the Giants', the figure provides the scale that makes the point. Thanx for the tip on DOGA.
