Squeezing the best light out of Bryce… Bryce 20 scene lighting project - Using IBL with boost light and TA gels - by David Brinnen

Something a bit less challenging than recent topics.

Bryce 5 minute scene - TA hue saturation shift trick - a tutorial by David Brinnen

And if you could manage the 5 minute tutorial try this…

If you’ve had chance to digest that… then try this… Bryce 5 minute scene project - turn your Xyzrgb dragon scene into a Vicky scene - by David Brinnen

Another render using the trick described in this tutorial Bryce 5 minute scene - TA hue saturation shift trick - a tutorial by David Brinnen

Only this time I used a white background instead of a black one.

Something relatively simple…  Bryce 5 minute project - put a label on a jar - a tutorial by David Brinnen

Something relatively tricky… Bryce 20 minute experiment - TA generated caustics - a video by David Brinnen

Still tricky Bryce 20 minute scene lighting project - TA caustics effect - a tutorial by David Brinnen

Putting what I’ve researched and explained in the TA optimised radial lighting tutorials to the test.  This scene is a remake of an old Bryce 6 scene with new lighting.  One of Horo’s HDRI is used for reflection and another as a gel for the TA lights through the ambient channel (this was captured with the Spherical Mapper in another scene with just Horo HDRI showing - as covered in the videos).  The idea was to try and achieve as realistic a lighting environment as possible.  My origami birds however, are a bit too perfect to fool anyone.  Never mind.

I decided to try and combine my grass method Bryce grass terrains - a 25 minute tutorial by David Brinnen with TA optimised radial gel lights Bryce 20 minute scene lighting project - the Xyzrgb Stanford Dragon - a tutorial by David Brinnen I knew it would be punishing in terms of render time.  28 hours later…

Another remake of an old scene using the new TA optimised radial lights with gels.  Following the process explained in my most recent video tutorials - which can be viewed/endured (delete as appropriate) here http://www.youtube.com/user/davidbrinnen/videos

Here with the added challenge (for me because I am not very good with DS) of bringing in Vicky - I got really adventurous this time and changed her pose.  She is pensive.  And I bet she wishes she had some shoes on (not figured out how to add shoes yet).
