"What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself-and thus make yourself indispensable. Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better." - Andre Gide

BIO
I am not Vile! Back in the really old days I used to log on to a BBS with that handle and have never really changed it. Every time I join some online community it still sticks and I have been here at Renderosity since 12/16/1999.
ÂÂ
I am not an artist! Well at least not in the traditional sense at least. Both my Mother and Sister are terrific analog artists but I just never got into the whole paints, canvas and brushes thing. Not that I was terribly bad at it I was just never as good as I wanted to be. I am a perfectionist! Computer art really appealed to me for this reason, my favorite button became the UNDO! I love the way I can save an image and comeback to it at another time and add more or erase mistakes. Or create something so, possibly temporary as a digital image and yet have it be as effective as a masters painting!
ÂÂ
I am too technical! My art does not reflect my moods or expressions most the time but more of my technical abilities (I am working on this though). I mainly use Photoshop, Bryce, (occasionally Poser) and a digital camera.
ÂÂ
I am not my Past! I first started digital art in 1991 with a program called SPASH on a Leading Technologies 286PC. I used to sketch out an image in pencil or pen and then try to recreate it Pixel by frustrating Pixel. I created some amazing images (in my mind they were) of Dinosaurs, Comic characters and Sci-fi. All but one were lost in a computer meltdown, the one that survived I can t seem to recall off of a floppy disk either.
ÂÂ
I am not Brycer! By 1997 I had an Intel Pentium 133 which my Uncle loaned me I believe it had 64MB of Ram and a 1GB hard Drive. And then I met Bryce2 and many a night was spent trying to get that thing to render silly little mountains or spheres all of which as I look back on and think a 4 year old could do better! But I had to learn, I had to render!
ÂÂ
I am not a Master! I think there are few Digital masters out there and they know who they are! I try as hard as I can to copy or pay homage to their accomplishments. I think, that I and others have made Bryce do things it was never intended or dreamed of being able to do. I now see people doing stuff I had not even dreamed of.
ÂÂ
One final thought! I Say Let me never be whole! I Say May I never be satisfied! I Say Deliver me from Japanese Robots! I Say Deliver me from lame Poser Art! I Say Deliver me from bad skin and Perfect Smiles! I Say you don't have to give in and through down your hand!
ÂÂ
And I Say Evolve!

The texture that tjohn made is the egg yolk very realistic IMHO. The white is metaballs and the rest of the textures are mine.
woodhurst
excellent work vile! The texture on those eggs is perfect, and thta yolk looks real. excellent work!
RhiannonGypsy
Excellent job. I love the dripping yoke in the egg shell. I also love how you made the egg white drip in the tile grooves. It all looks so real. I want mine over easy on a piece of toast :)
SeaCrystal
This is excellent work. Great textures and compliments to tjohn's yolk. :)
rlosch
Outstanding!! The only way I could tell it's not a photo is the slight doubling of the broken edges of the shell. The detail is superb, even to the drips and the tiny fragments of shell. A real class act!
SherlockHolmes
Kick Ass! Awesome textures, looks real, drips from the egg is awesome and so is the yok. My Hats Off To You Vile!
Doublecrash
Whoa! I'm without words, it's the best egg-scene I ever saw! :-) Wonderful realism, awesome attention to the details (the white in the grooves, the shells). Excellent job!
ringbearer
Excellent work! I especially like the doubling of the broken edges of the shell, the outside part is the shell, the inner is the membrane.
Pontigary
Fantastic resemblance. Left me speechless!
Vile
I actually sat down and broke a few eggs (farmer browns and whites) in a pan and on a counter. I was looking to see how the white would run and many of them when broken had this inner membrane. I also tried to get the bumps of the shell right as well. Thanks for comments all! Of course I made scrambled cheesy eggs after YUM!
Liquix
Wonderful image, and I want to thank you and others like you for explaining some of what you had to do in order to achieve your results. I plan to get my copy of Bryce 5.0 when I get my tax refund. Until then, I really enjoy learning all about the different methods for creation.
ocddoug
Wow, an awesome result! Like the title too ;-)
GROINGRINDER
Fantastic!

This is a most awesome piece of work. It made me want to run to the fridge for an omelet myself.
Elsina

Longrider
Great render,well done.
tjohn
Excellent pic, Vile, thanks for the mention.
ttops
Super render!
alvinylaya
OMG that's a real egg! I love it oozing inside the shell. Beautiful work on the cracks! Excellent job!
Bitbear
Nicely done. And a strange portent, considering today's events.
mboncher
Okay, that's just fantastic! Great realism.
CarloTraversi
Photorealistic and excellent. White and yolk are so real, and that oozing is a great touch. Scrambled, thanx.... and Hot 20 :o)
Trouble
Impressive work Vile! I'm especially impressed with the eggshells.
terra-man
I think the ineershell is too reflective and the egg white too transparent, great image nonetheless, especially the egg shell texture (outside)and the ridge of the broken egg
Anthropon
I think the egg looks too eggy and the tiles look way too tiley. The yolk looks too yolkish. Actually, if an egg was cracked in this manner, there would be 4.1255 specks of shell in the egg white, 1 speck on the yolk, and .35 specks in the tile grout. There should also be a picture of my mom with a mop in the reflection. Your final score for this image is: Excellent
silkybloo
ahh... EGGS-actly EGGS-cellent!
danamo
Geez Vile! This is excellent! I can't believe I missed this the first time.
EngleWolf
