Description
...A brave warrior of Gaul gives warning to nearby tribesman.
Originally I wanted to see what a full Roman legion would look like (approx 5,400 men), but my PC wanted no part in it. I was able to fit in one cohort (480 men). A full legion had about 10 cohorts. What a site that must have been! Each century (80 men) rendered in Bryce.

interesting work perhaps the cloning tool in photoshop could help you^^

Very interesting indeed! Another suggestion would be to render 1 cohort, then use that image as the background for teh second cohort, and so on... Still an extremely ambitious plan... I know that MY computer starts to cringe at anything more than 3 figures...

Nice work,..........you could do seperate renders for each cohort and composite them in PS using "Object mask" renders,........just a thought.

Is it a very accurate reconstruction of a memory ? Excellent ! A great joy to see our smart roman warriors. I thanked the Lord Serapis that when I was in danger at sea he straightway saved me. On arriving at Misenum, I received from Caesar three gold pieces for travelling expenses. And it is well with me. We fought on the Nile, of course; although, as I had neglected to order up my naval strength, this was ineligible as terrain! My opponent kindly placed it instead! He had summoned a host of these wheeled carts, over a dozen, with a long line of well-trained spearmen, and a large group of the expert Egyptian archers. There were also innumerable dispersed groups of javelinmen and slingers, a small band of heavily-armoured foot bearing iron blades on their shoulder and a levy of local peasantry fighting uncertainly in auxiliary fashion. Give many salutations to Capiton, Serenilla and all my firends. I salute Ptolemaeus and Ptolemais and her children and Heraclous and her children. I salute all of you, each by name. Carpe diem!

Nice image and very ambitious. I know I tryed a large number of Roman and Carthaginian soldiers in my "War Elephants" image. I had resort to redoing each solier as either a RRM1 or alpha plane groups. This worked much better. Have you considered using groups of alpha plane soldiers to fill in the masses you need to complete your full legion. This is a way to get them without taxing your computer. Just a thought. Still a nice Bryce image.

you put awesome effort into the detail and precision of this, and it shows. totally awesome indeed :D

Very nice indeed. True, you could have used Photoshop to make your image into reality. Excellent snapshot just the same.

Impressive scene. Yes, I can see the problem. What you needed here was newer software tech that would allow instancing. Then, even in 2002, you computer might have been able to handle the full legion.
