Very cool. I like the non-rendered quality of this. It has a dreamy comic-book feel to it.

wau, I dont believe renders looks like that, very cool

Thanks for the kind comments. There are 2 ironic things about how the render turned out. The first one is that it wasn't the look that I was originally going for, but while attempting to fix some distracting reflection issues, I blindly stumbled into this look. Gotta love it when that happens. The second, and probably more potent irony, is that the image is done with material and sky presets that come installed with Bryce. There were some minor modifications of course (some changes in diffuse color, or adding a quick bump to the foreground ground to get rid of some really distracting reflections, and a minor tweak to a preset sky to wash everything out), but the modifications are so minor that I couldn't ethically call them "new" presets. All materials are either the preset "Brushed Silver" or a very quick and minor tweak to it. ;) Who'd've thunk? Thanks again for viewing and commenting. :)

Would love to know exactly what sky/atmosphere settings you used. This is so cool.
draub
Again, thanks for the kind words. The sky/atmosphere I used was a quick tweak to the "Simple White Background" preset. Basically, I turned off the clouds and played with the "Sky Mode" until it actually let me use the fog / haze settings right. I'm probably not explaining it right...so I've uploaded it. :) "http://www.renderosity.com/artistdownload.ez?fileid=11274&key=143418 " is the url. Enjoy :)

My first thought on seeing this was: "Hey, that reminds me of the clubhouse of the Legion of Superheros from the old Superboy/Adventure Comics of the sixties. Well, duh. Nice job!

Unbelievably well done, despite how it's accidental. Yeah, I know what you mean when you say you just stumbled into it... the problem is, fiddling with Bryce is often creates more original than actually sitting down for an hour and making an image.
