Description
Well, this was an actual application of bryce. In one of my classes we were required to construct a bridge of 'ministicks' that would be supporting a rather large amount of weight. The class of 167 students would be graded based on their bridge weight/load before breaking. The bridge performed rather well, though we had a faulty tooth-pick, that was a disapointment. This was the original design for the bridge, and the final is an exact replica of this. if I had a digital camera I'd show you. Anyway it weighs about 19.5 grams and held significantly more weight, 30-40 pounds. Prior to the machine destroying my bridge, I tested it in my dorm and it held all of my books. It was built out of "mini sticks" here is the bryce render. Enjoy.
Bryce wise, this is a "radiosity" render.

Fantastic. Who needs a photo when you can do something like that. Congratulations, both for the render and making the best bridge.

I had to do this as well many years ago, the structure looks like it will hold. Great stuff!!

Congrats on your project, I would never think that that thing could hold that much weight.
Ornlu
