    I've been to Malham.... It's ace.

    I've tried to get that same feel in some of my terrains in the past too David.... Never managed it yet.

    Yes Malham is well worth the visit - you must go, David.

    This was 8 years ago when I only had a Nikon Coolpix camera - I've got a better DSLR nowadays but haven't (yet) been back.

    Dave – another awesome render. Love the lighting.

    David - beautiful render.

    C-ram – I normally get my freebies from archive3D, ShareCG,  and other places. I recently I made an account at TurboSquid. Most of the ones I like/download are either for Poser or some other 3D software. My problem is besides Bryce and Wings 3D I don’t use any other 3D program.

    Lovely images of Malham posted by Chohole, Dave and MelanieL.

    Rembrandt - looking better with the shadows not black. Good work. The Rock is a very nice render.

    Dave - Blue Moon Baby looks absolutely great. All product renders look just great. Photographs would hardly be better - if so good at all. The Daleks look fantastic.

    cyberjym - welcome to the forum, some nice renders.

    sriesch - the crashed airplane scene looks very good. Volumetric is really very slow, I've tried it several times. Pity, because it can give very interesting results.

    Electro-Elvis - great party scene with Prince Charles laugh

    David - Malham Cove render looks very good. Seems to be a nice place to visit looking at the photographs.

    I revisited pencil sketch ideas and came up with three different methods I compiled into a PDF: Drawing Effects in Bryce
    (https://www.horo.ch/docs/mine/pdf/DrawingEffects.pdf text only for translation purposes https://www.horo.ch/docs/mine/txt/DrawingEffects.txt).

    Matilda comes with the pro content and I used the Reflection method, essentially following David's video (link in document) and the landscape uses the Specular method with IBL and a sky with clouds added to it (link to my video in document). I like how the geometry is shown, there is no bump.

    Terrain

    EDIT to add: The Terrain is Highland from our High Resolution Terrain Set 1.

    Really nice Horo.  I have linked to your post in the Non Photo realistic thread in the Art Studio.

    Thank you Pam! I had a look at that forum, there are some very nice renders but they all seem to need either additional programs or some post processing. Bryce can do without, of course.

    Mermaid - thank you, let's see what you'll come up with.

    Here is another example, using the Specular method. Main specular from the white sphere HDRI, negative specular by a slightly yellow sun, hence the blue. Render time 1 minute.

    This one is worth zooming in to the original (which is rendered very big) just to appreciate the amount of detail in this outfit... Which took me three days to get about right in Bryce. Not that I'm complaining, it's got a lot of components to it and well worth the effort.

    @Horo: Great experiments. I like both ideas.

    @Wonderful outfit, very well rendered.

    I made a quick surreal render. I call it 'Wanna dance?"

    Mermaid - The second tulip render looks so much better, it brings out the color

    Rembrandt - Definitely a better version of the coastal waterfall. The rock render turned out very well, I like the material

    Dave - Excellent!!! I'm glad it will be out on pirate bay first, made me laugh and the advertising is just fantastic. I would have never guessed it was modelled with Bryce. And what you call Sunday morning silliness I would call it a triumph if I attempted it. You are a true master modeller. As to the exotic hula-hoop dancer... You are correct, great detail

    Jim - Great collection of renders. Nice to see different type of work

    Sriesch - Very nice work. I like the swampy feeling of the green water

    Electro-Elvis -  I could have sworn it was Prince Charles as well. I hope Camilla doesn't mind. Nicely done

    David - It looks like a lovely place going by the  photos posted .You have done great justice in your render.

    Horo - I have always loved to see pencil drawings. Beautiful !! Thanks for the pdf.  I like the lighting effect of evolution, it gives it good depth

    Hansmar - Thats cute.. They look like balloons

    Something simple I thought I share

    Dave - wow, you're a patient chap, though the result was worth the labour invested.

    Hansmar - thank you. Funny and very nice render, happy dancing.

    Vivien - thank you. That simple thought turned out fantastic.

    Another use of the tiled terrain and another one in the back to make the rim. It's an old crater, perhaps there's going to be a new one.

    Horo- I’ll play with the pencil sketch this weekend. The Evolution is awesome, the Old crater is beautiful

    Dave- Wow the dancer is stunning, lovely render on your new/old Mac; where there’s a will there is always a way.yes

    Hansmar – that’s so cute, love it.

    Vivien – simple but beautiful. Going by the shadows, the columns with the mirror in the foreground look like they are a bit above the ground.

    Cyberjym – lovely render, are you doing your own modelling.

    Yeah. Though I just found out my castle is too complex to import into bryce. Ive imported a third of it, in pieces, before bryce gave up.

    Its kinda my fault though, I modelled alot of interiors to make animated flybys eventually. Maybe I'll gut the innards and have solid windows or something. im pretty bummed.

    Still playing with the Hot Rod model, looking at different ways of creating art and with the recent "drawing technique" post, I did this one which is a very graphic designery representation... This is the Bryce render, the only post work is to add my signature. And you need to zoom in to get rid of the slight moire pattern.

    cyberjym - very elaborate model.

    Dave - that's a super cool effect. Is it done with bump?

    Another landscape from me. Though the Mississippi Steam Boat was from Daz, this is not the Mississippi.

    No Horo.... Just a horizontal line material set to world space and some adjustments to lighting and specular response on the material.

    Here is a more extreme example which I think is better and cleaner that I've just done.

    That's a very impressive canyon... Real sense of scale.

    Sandy - yup, flooded, though.

    Dave - thank you twice. Got to experiment with such lines. It gives a really cool effect.

    @vivien: Thanks. Marvelous render with a lot of depth. But indeed, the pillars with the mirrors left and right do not appear to be grounded.

    @Horo: Thank you too. Wonderful old crater you made. And a very nice canyon too.

    @Dave Savage: Great hotrod you rendered in your poster. The first striped version did not do it for me, but the second one I like very much. probably because it is not stripes all over.

    @cyberjym: Oh, my, that IS an extensive model indeed. Yes. all those details you cannot see in a render still fill your MBits to the max.

    @mermaid010: Thanks. A bit of funny cuteness is always fun to make.

    A day of chemical warfare against the germs and a bit of rendering.  This place, I learned today was called "Durdle door", I had it on a postcard and thought it looked interesting and it is responsible for inspiring any number of renders with arches in.  And here's some more.  Lit with a variety of Horo's Sunless HDRI which are very versatile for realistic lighting.  I used island "S" from the High Resoltion Terrain set3 and a modified texture from island "X" along with water.  The lighting consists of lighting the inside of a "light" sphere and using that to drive TA ambient (Obscure lighting if you want to look it up on my videos) as well as Bryce sun and an additional point light source.  The idea was to generate a series of realistic looking scenes with "moody" but plausable lighting.

    @Dave, great renders and also looking cool balanced on that rock in your shades, which do make you look a bit like your avatar.  How high up was that?

    @MelanieL, beautiful photo's, hopefully I'll get a look myself one day.

    @Mermaid, thank you.

    @Horo, pencil sketches worked very well, but the Steam Boat in the ravine was stunning.  It would make a brilliant illustration for The Fabulous Riverboat by Philip Jose Farmer

    @Vivien, very nice crisp render, good sense of scale and light.

    @Cyberjym, facinating models, the architecture put me in mind of Planescape Torment one of my favourite PC RPG's.

    Thanks smiley

    I was stood on a small ledge which is about 40 foot from the big cliff edge... The bit I was standing on was only about 15 foot high.

    Those renders of the arch and coastline are fabulous but the last one is exceptionally realistic.

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,379

    David Brinnen - I love your Durdle Door renders. I agree with Dave that the last is amazingly good. I have some pictures of Durdle Door somewhere too, but that was from my pre-digital-camera days so I won't be attaching any this time! Last time I was there (probably 20 years ago now) my husband had developed a strong urge to swim in the sea so we drove down there (takes about an hour from where we live) he got into his bathing trunks, ran into the sea, immediately ran out again and that was that. Well, it was a lovely warm day in May, but he had totally underestimated how cold the water might be! I was brought up in Yorkshire with holidays at various points along the North Sea coast between the Tyne and the Humber, so I have "happy memories" of sea water temperatures so wasn't tempted to join him.
