I'm not sure what all to say about myself, I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA) and work as a graphic designer/computer technician for a print shop. I have a BS in Historic Preservation, but wasn't willing to go on for a Master's Degree, nor was I interested in teaching, so I found another career. I discovered Bryce way back when version 1 came out, but I didn't really get serious about the program, or 3D art in general, until a few years ago. When I'm not in front of the computer, I'm either making costumes or wearing them to a renaissance festival, or building a new rock-sculpture, or possibly wandering with a camera.
When I'm not making something, odds are I'm reading from my far too wide range of interests: Astronomy, Cosmology, Physics, Archeology, Anthropology, History, Current Events, NASA (of course) and anything else that happens to catch my attention. It's really hard to find enough time to do all of the things I want to be doing! What drew me to Renderosity is the many excellent artists who continue to inspire me to push myself as an artist. More recently I've added a selection of stuff to another online gallery location:http://nefariousdro.deviantart.com/ÂÂ

there is a lot of work there

Each one of these is more amazing than the last...... You really went all out on this one, Mike! This is utterly fantastic! I thought it was Io that had that weird vein-like structure, but whichever it is, your station looks amazing orbiting above it. Outstanding Bryce work, my friend!

This is amazing! I love what you've done with this place. Long way from home, eh? But it can't be, it's right there in front of me! Heh...anyway...this really rocks and I love the attention to detail here. The light's fantastic; it has that hard-vacuum look that I like so much, and yeah, Titan's an interesting place but probably kinda stinky. Really cool work! As always. This is inspiring something...I wonder what a Nemaean would have to say about this...of course based on what they build, this might be a comfortable, swanky bachelor pod; I hear those are all the rage in the Nemaean Interstellar Territories right now. :)

Excellent work on the space station model, especially considering you did it in Bryce. However, only one minor detail. The moon in the background is Jupiters moon Europa.

Gah! You're right! I can't believe I switched those names like that. How embarrassing.

Don't sweat it, happens to me all the time.

Really nice station and pic! Worth the poly count. ;)
grafikeer
Great modelling,and an excellent composition...a fave!
Debwhosmiles
So much detail in your fantastic station! It is a very sharp image with wonderful light and shadow. We will have this one day, I am sure. =)

Great station model. It looks like some of those tubes have insulation on them. Which they would need, more against Jupiter's radiation at Europa than the cold at Titan. Though it's cold at Europa too.... (sorry, had to pile on, just a little. Nice view of Europa, though)

I like how you did the solar panel truss structure. ISS-derived, but different. You got any tutorials up anywhere?
NefariousDrO
Thanks, you're right I did draw heavily from the ISS-truss setup for this. I've not made any tutorials, alas. I know that DAZ's website has a lot of tutorials, though.

The Space Ship is awesome but I must Say the Way you have Europa Looking is mindbogglingly good how did you do how did you manage to make it look that perfect I have never done one I have thought anything special about. You get a Fave from me well Done Karl
NefariousDrO
Thanks! The view of Europa came from NASA, I downloaded one of their many mosaic-shots of the moon and then composited the rendered space station into the NASA-supplied backdrop with Adobe Photoshop.

Truly awesome work my friend, gotta love copious amounts of polygons LOL. I cannot model in any version other than my modified version of 4. One of my InZects latest parts (a leg) clocks in at 1 million polys, (i know over kill but ...you know me) Keep on pushing Bryce, this is like i said awesome!
jocko500
very wonderful looking
Cyve
It's absolutely FABULOUS...Outstandingly done !!!
steveHolden
Love the texture on the planet surface. Great stuff!
Marrekie
Great model. It looks great my man. I've got one nerdy nitpick: solar panels aren't effective that far out from the sun :-) That doesn't change the quality of the model though, so +1 Fave!
