Some beautiful work posted here already. I don't even have any ideas yet.
Someone mentioned cogs and old age, I have the same syndrome ;)
Already some very cool streams happening!
Horo:
love that perspective and the creative take on the stream idea! not to mention the stunning terrain!
I am not so sure about the basket textures, I am thinking a canvas top rail, and more wicker like body would seem more familiar, but then again I have never been hotair ballooning so...
Hello chohole, hello guys, I’m an Italian Bryce user.
From version 2 to 7.1 present, Bryce I have always been amazed by the simplicity of use. Among the upcoming implementations I would like the 64-bit support, as the crash for lack of memory are frequent. I have never posted anything on this forum , however , I would like to participate in the ” Bryce rendering Challenge” with some of my renderings that have as their main subject the dinosaurs in an aquatic environment. I have many other renderings with different sets and different dinosaurs that if you want , I can post you in this forum. When I make a scene I think mainly for 3D lenticular technique. In fact, I like to make renderings stereoscopic rendering the scene from 18 different points of view (calculated with the help of Excel) , with particular software then frames are interlaced in a file that will be assembled after printing with special lenticular sheets that will produce the three-dimensional picture can be viewed without the classic red / cyan glasses . If you pull out a pair of frames I can make a simple color or gray anaglyph. If you will give me the chance , I’ll post the gif animations that simulate the lenticular technique. For the challenge I have attached three renderings : Brachiosaurus altithorax, Eohippus angustidens, Lesothosaurus diagnosticus.
The dinosaur models are of great Dinoraul (I modified the poses with Poser) the plants and vegetation from Xfrog and Flora 3D models, the soils and rocks I make starting from stereoscopic photographs imported into Photosculpt Textures 2 (I won a challenge and the programmer has offered me a copy of his software). Some textures I made with Filter Forge.
Sorry for my bad English. Thank you,
Pino
@Hergal3D: Hello, and welcome to the forum. Those three scene are really nice, especially the one with the Lesothosaurus. Water material looks really nice. And by the way, your English is just fine.
Thank you. The basked is made of metal because it gives a lot of bang when it hits the ground. ;-P
Nice one, Horo..certainly pushes the level up a bit...very nice.
Hergal3D...love the third one...reminisces of the 'Jurassic' movie...."what, you bred raptors" ;)
Jay
GussNemo: Thank you, I appreciate your comment. I have realized many renderings with Achelosaurus, Allosaurus, Carnotaurus, Cymbospondylus, Monolophosaurus, Triceratops, Abelisaurus, Euoplocephalus, T-Rex and many other, post them on the forum in a few days. :-)
Jamahoney: Too much honor! :red:
Please don't laugh I'm still trying to get the hang of things.
This is a rough draft of my entry number one. It's with the default sky and water at the moment and I plan to do more to it. I did make the stream terrain in the terrain editor.
Can't wait to see what you come up with. I love using XFrog 2d trees also. Right now they have 145 free trees in obj and 2D available on their website. I snatched up everyone one of them. They are different than the ones they released a couple years back.
That's stunning. I love it.
Some nice stuff posted already here. Glad everyone is having fun
This is my first WIP try for a Subterranean Stream, formed by water streaming through the rocks. I am not happy with the falling water
and a 2nd WIP, with some tweaks
Hi chochole. Your preparatory studies are going in the right direction. I would recommend you create a fissure in the rock where to infiltrate the light of day. I think that would make it more magical atmosphere of the image ...
Creepy...I like it, but creepy. Looks like the whole cave is lit by black light. Nice work by everyone so far. I've got one almost ready...if only I can quit running out of time...
Hi everybody,
Great works already, I see. Many streams in nice terrains. Nice Dinos too!
I agree with Dana on the basket of the balloon. I've been in one and it was not metal!
Don't think I will compete this time. Still have no idea what 'streaming' render I would want to make for this challenge.
But I'll keep an eye out and, who knows, maybe I'll find something that is doable even for me and my old laptop.
Keep up the good work!
@Horo: Don't know how i missed your balloon scene, but it's wonderful.
@fictionairomance: For a WIP that's darn good looking scene.
@Pam: The way you've made that border I get the feeling that cave is being viewed through a peep hole. Water fall in the second image really looks better. Love the color you're using.
This is my second entry, titled "Life flows on." I used the same terrain but viewed from a different location. I guess the way it came out one could say the stream is a continuation of my first scene.
Nice one, Guss...have seen streams like these where they roll across harder rock with no discernable gully etc. Caution, however, when crossing them...as a slimey buildup causes one to slip easily (my scraped thigh will testify :) )
Okay, first entry. I usually don't do postwork, however, in this instance was forced to as I just couldn't find any descent frog or insects out there, so those included have been added in manually. Now, if I had wanted slugs however, my garden is full of them ;)
Jay
Title: 'Days Like These'
for the slugs put out bowls of beer in holes - that will take care of most
My local Badger takes care of them sometimes...but the flashlamp is best for me ;)
Jay
Nice one. I like that.
Cheers. Cholole...have to admit, the theme is a challenge (so many options without referring to the obvious). However, it pushes us, I'll guess, into other Bryce areas none familiar.
Jay
Title: Man-Made Stream
Rendered in Bryce 7.1Pro
The power plant is Condemned--Daz
The power poles Bryce Premium Object preset
Flowing water object--Space Bones Share CG
The faucet modeled in Hexagon 2.5
I noticed something in the render options drop down menu "lighting" and I chose "boost light".. I don't know if anything that this did for my render... I suppose I should do a render without that checked... to see any difference... I also noticed just today after having my laptop with and Nvidia graphic processor and Just Today I right clicked the Bryce program icon and saw an option to use the Nvidia high performance processor, and I think the render was going a bit faster... I don't know... I have always checked the render option of High for the priority... thinking that that kicked in the Nvidia... Again... I don't know...There are so many ways and things to click it's always an adventure...
I have enjoyed seeing all the great entries so far and looking forward to seeing more... This is fun.
Steve
Jay:
wow that is really beautiful
some interesting takes on this contest, challenging for sure
I have been working the Crescent Falls for a while and not even close to finished, my next step is to animate the camera and put sound on the video, but here is a 5 sec of the opening scene shot. (still plagued with the video conversion making it too dark.)
http://youtu.be/RmkOhV2ieNs
I hope it is streamy enough to enter.
Cheers, dana365
Checked out the vid...waterwall effects look excellent, can't wait for the full ani., (hopefully, with movement of the camera). Will you be putting in characters - people, animals etc.,?
As to the darkness, yeah, YouTube does that always...sigh. Usually I lighten the ani., before uploading, but I've forgotten to do that so many times that having uploaded, say, a large ani., over 500 Mb, (~ five hours waiting for upload to finish), I just don't bother in the end re-uploading a lighter version afterwards.
Jay
Jay:
Thank you!, the camera is going to be moving around for sure, but I never thought about placing any creatures or people in the scene. Now that I am thinking about that, maybe when I have the first one done, I can reuse the scene and start trying some character animation, some birds float thru, or some bugs buzz by, the more I think about it, there could be all kinds of life going on in the scene. I like all the life you put into "DaysLikeThese"
@Jay: Thank you. Days like these is a really good scene. It has a very serene atmosphere. And here I thought slugs were false coins. ;-)
@mtnmen: That's a very unique scene. It looks really nice.
@dana: Watched the waterfall video and really like the results. The speed water is falling gives the impression of a slow moving river.
Is this ok? I'd really like to enter, the only post work was blurring the background a tiny bit and adding flutterbys two plants and the water fount and her, the rest is all freebies I found around the web for bryce I tried one render ...oh good lord 9 years ago, didnt like it and didnt use it again but kept up with my download after getting the freebie 5.5. its harder than I thought it would be but the water really wowed me!
thank you
blessed be
Dana
Gussnemo:
Thank you, there is so much more to come, I am not giving up on this build till I get what I want out of it. Love your color choices for your 2nd entry, bold.
Magikweaver:
the water blows my mind as well, the end result is all that counts, and you have a really cool scene. it really looks like she is demanding the water to react, like to see some more.
@Magikweaver: That's a very nice scene. Water does look nice.
@dana: Thank you. I couldn't decide if I wanted that red or lighter, but decided to increase the frequency instead. Making that texture smaller seemed to make it blend in better. Or gave me the look I wanted.
thank you *blush*
