Description
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions on how to improve the original. I'm finally getting some rusty/dirty metal textures that look halfway decent.
Is there a suggested way to post new versions of images? Should I delete the original?
Here are some comments from the first discussion:
Adding a single human figure totally changed this image. The person implies a story, and a quest.
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.
I'm still interested in suggestion for improving the image. I wish I could have found a cloud graphic that was at a higher resolution--this one looks okay, but I can tell it's been stretched a bit to fit. I see why Brian Foley has a cloud pack out. ;-)
If anyone is interested in these objects, I'm happy to share. If more than a few people reply I'll just post in the downloads section, but I don't know if there's an audience yet.

nice picture. nice idea to show the size of the big wrecks with the little person. but dont underrate the possibilities to model objects in bryce. a little mistake: the thin white line between sky and the rest of the picture. dont you know the mask render in bryce?

It's looking better, now you've changed the angles on the objects. Yes, the clouds need to be higher res and have you tried rendering on a finer setting? I'd recommend Fine Art 16 at least to get the detail of the middle object.

I didn;t see the first one, but this looks pretty good. Using a person to show scale works very well. Looks like a creepy place to visit. Wonder how it looks at night? As for posting images, some people do delete a picture and post a new one, if they touched it up. I, personally, just post a new image and leave the old one up so people can see the difference.

very good idea, good models done by yourself. Only the upper section of the round ship in the middle looks a little bit like hanging without connestion to the lower section... but however, good work, go on with it...
