@Rareth:  Those the mountains are rather dark, I like the way you’ve done the sky.  With the moon(?) as large as it is.  Real nice.

I noticed it looks dark on my laptop here at work but the office is light up with bright, Floresence bulbs, and my home computer room, is dimlly light, so I think thats the difference,

looks alot better on my home system.

new wip I got the idea from another tutorial,

Roland…yeah, that looks more natural…very nice. Wouldn’t ya just luv to go down there and explore? Bet there’s some kind of secret cave hidden around the growth that leads one down to it

2 pages in one day - I cannot keep up with that pace. Good work all around. Keep it coming, don’t wait for me.

A good work that we can not do without the help of David and Horo.

And now it´s a hidden place.

having alot of fun with this technique, now I just need to find a way to incorporate the stone arch into a landscape and have it look believable.. 

still a work in progress
All done in Bryce 7.1 Pro,  the arch is a Lattice rotated 90 degrees. and set upon a second terrain that the feet are built up on, and added a few stones to break things up a little.

@eireann:  Love the intricate cubes you made with Wings.  Even better the results when rendered in Bryce.  You may not have obtained the results you were after in the first image, but I think it looks very nice.  The touch of purple(?) and the hint of shadows is very pleasing.  And the shiny affect in the second image is wonderful, even though it might not be what you were after.  They’re both very nice.  I also like your alien landscape.  Almost looks like someone dusted it with powdered sugar.  You sure this isn’t a close up of a ginger bread cookie?

Thanks for the flowers, Guss,
As a matter of fact I am still just experimenting with Bryce. I am fairly new at it and havent discovered most of it. Materials are still a big mystery for me.

In the moment the materials are a mystery for you, but later if you play longer with Bryce you’ll notice that it’s actually quite easy. Some call this “experience”.

If you want be good you must learning ,leaning learning. And if you are ready with learning than you must learning again. <some call this: “do not give up”.  experience, you can not have at one day. Your picture looks good, better as my picture at the first day.

Roland is correct, just play with Bryce for now get a feel for how the different materials included influence a scene, there is also a great resourece here http://www.bryce-tutorials.info/index.html that I visit every day and try out something from the site.

Learn from David and Horo. David is the grand master for Bryce and have allways good tip´s.

Yes, and David is also very helpful finding good solutions for lighting and materials.
Here what he made out my wackycube:

@Rareth:  That WIP really looks interesting.  It’ll be nice to see what you end up with after applying materials.

@eireann:  Those cubes turned out really well with David’s lighting techniques.  Never ceases to amaze me.

The most important thing I learned from David is, that the scale from a texture or other objects a specific object can make bigger or smaller. Look at the picture ! Do you anderstand what i mean ? The terrain is allways the same, without changes.

I’ll need to dig up some photographs of what I pictured in my mind, but basically wanted to see if I could create an Arch from the Terrain Editor, and things took off from there.. I got the idea from the tutorial to create a Book of all things with the Texture Editor from the Bryce-Tutorials Website.

Now I have to go and set up my Render of my beach scene all over again.. Windows decided to update and reboot last night in the middle of an 8 hour render..  Funny thing is even though I saved the file before hand Bryce did not preserve the camera settings so I get to fiddle with that to get it going before I head into work.
