    Here's what I've been slaving over for the last two months.  It's hard work, watching the computer do everytihg while I sit there, I tell ya. :-)  Positive and negative reivews greatly appreciated.  There's more I'd like to do, but not enough time left to do it in. 

    My Kingdom:

  • @Chohole - beautiful field of flowers :)

    @sriesch - very nice render. I love how your genie emerges from the lamp, and that city is awesome!

  • vivienvivien Posts: 184

    Mtnmen - Nice one. I like the vegetation you used

    Sriesch - That's sooo nice... The colours are wonderful and the genie is really well done.

    dragonfall - definitely an improvement. It looks great this way.

    sriesch - absolutely beautiful mood, could be out of Thousand and one Night.

    Excellent images and some truley interesting takes on the theme! 

    Here's my entry.

    Title:

    Two Kingdoms: Old And New

    Loosely based on the fiction of Sharon Lee & Steve Miller.

     

    Background building - Organdron City by Herminio Nieves at ShareCG.

    Fantasy Castle by Laurie S at DAZ 3D.

    Interceptor Hoover Craft by SStudio at DAZ 3D.

    Genesis 2 Male and Female, hair and outfits by DAZ 3D.

     

    Clouds and haze are volumetric textures applied to large cubes behind the foreground objects.

    Illuminated by the Bryce sun and True Ambience.

    Rendered and staged in Bryce 7.1 Pro at 64 RPP. Render time about 2 1/2 hours.

    Retouched some problem polygons in PS CS4.

    Thanks for looking!

    @horo, @vivian1,@adbc... Thank you for your comments..

     

    @dragonfall... Yes!  I really love this... thie light coming through adds nicely...

    @sriesch... Fantastic image!... I can see how you would have slaved over this... Wonderful.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,545

    Beautiful entry, Dan. Great idea: history meets future.

  • Tim82Tim82 Posts: 859

    really great renders from every one smiley ....best of luck to all entries, and to the judges who have to find a winner! ....its going to be a hard choice with all of this great work smiley

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    Yes       LAST DAY FOR ENTRIES

  • HansmarHansmar Posts: 2,895

    I see there are some great new entries!

    @Chohole: Lovely field of flowers. 

    @mtnmen: That is a king for sure. What a pity all his people have fled before him cheeky. By the way, it looks to me like both front an hind paw close to us are not on the ground; must be an illusion?

    @dragonfall1221: It was already looking very good. Even better now!

    @sriesch: Great scene and lovely colours. Indeed, the genie appearing is wonderful, just like the city with a genie-city part as well. And I think the teapot may be floating in the air (doesn't look to be on the table to me) to add to the magic?

    @Dan Whiteside: What a great idea to merge past and future into your present scene! Very good entry. I just do not necessarily see why you went through the trouble of using volumetric textures for haze and clouds, as in this scene simple pre-set (or slightly modified) sky settings might have worked just as well.

    Good luck to the jurors!

    Here is my entry. "My private kingdom"

    The deck chair is made with Hexagon and the birds are from the internet, all other objects are pure Bryce. Rendered with IBL and the Bryce sun. Rendertime about 6 hours (without any transparancy, otherwise I had missed the deadline)

    I struggled with the forum software. I hope now you can see it.

    I can see it.  Do you remember what product the brick & beam wall is from, or did you make it?

    Electro-Elvis - I couldn't still see it in Chrome but FireFox. I had to log out from Chrome, log in with FireFox, see it, log out with FireFox and log in with Chrome and now I see it. Great Kingdom. Why ask for more?

     

     

  • srieschsriesch Posts: 4,241

    I now get to swap places with Horo... @Xangth, I cannot see your picture!  Just the text.  (Firefox.)

    Hmm, that's strange, I could see it before, and now it has disappeared.

  • FishtalesFishtales Posts: 6,105

    There are two posts from xangth, one with a thumbnail and the other with no image. It looks like he has put the image up full size and then deleted the thumbnail which stops the image from being displayed.

  • srieschsriesch Posts: 4,241

    Oh, ok, got it.  I was looking at the 2nd duplicate post without the picture, not the first post with the picture, which I do see.  All is well.

    Yup, I fell into the same trap this time - using FireFox Portable. The picture is farther up, not where I looked for it. My mistake.

    @Electro-Elvis: Looks very good. Great texture on the wall and the beams, wonderful grass!

    @Xangth: Very welcome. And what a great idea and render. Really love the mountain with the three heads! Next time, if you have a little more time, you might want to make the shadows catch a little light too, by adding an additional fill light or using Image Based Lighting from the sky. But that is just nit-picking!

  • @sriesch: I think the brickwall is a texture that comes with Bryce. And the beams is a Bryce standard texture -> Vegetation -> Wood -> Weathered Wood

    @hansmar: Thank you 

  • vivienvivien Posts: 184

    Dan - Very nice idea of past and future world

    Electro Elvis - I can see a few people would relate to this private kingdom. Nicely done

    Xangth - Going by this entry, it is a pity you did not have enough time to make more. Very nice

    Good luck everyone.
