Description
My most triumphant (and nutritious) work yet! The orb was painstakingly modeled from over 10,000 cubes; each positioned by hand (or mouse as the case may be) to create the illusion of a perfect spherical shape. Alternately, the cube was modeled from almost 120,000 manually resized and repositioned spherical objects (they are awfully small spheres to create the appearance of such sharp corners!) The pyramid is but 1 simple triangular object, but I spent well over 40 hours resizing and moving it to ensure the perfect size and location.
I believe the sky and textures to be my biggest achievement! The sky took me over 3 solid weeks to create! I endlessly pressed the "Sky & Fog randomize" button until I hit upon the perfect sky (any similarities to the default Bryce sky is purely coincidental.) Then I flew from America to Europe and photographed the greatest ancient Greek monuments, scanned them into my computer, spent another 3 weeks manipulating them in Photoshop and Painter (to remove any photo imperfections and to make the textures perfectly seamless), then delicately placed them on each object (notice how the texture on the sphere is set to Parametric View while the pyramid's texture has been subtly calibrated to Randomize? It's these ingenious touches that separate me from the average artist.)
I rendered this masterpiece in Bryce 5 on Premium Quality Mode (with Soft Shadows, Blurry Reflections, Blurry Transmissions, True Ambience and Depth of Field all selected.) After the 36 days it took to complete rendering, I finished it all off with some massive postwork in Photoshop and Painter (you know, to give it that severely

It's hard to describe... my feelings... about this. The picture and the STORY... It realy makes me think different about rendering, modeling and post commenting... just for a while :) Two hours after i'll be back to stuffing my cubes, orbs and pyramids and I'll be damn proud describing to others here on Renderocity how hard i worked :) Rank You "great" - for the truth.

Utter greatness. Now, having witnessed this, I must go to the top of my bunk bed and throw myself into the abyss. For my will has been broken and my manhood mocked by this, oh grandious of renders.
