Thought I would share my own 3d renders -warning not 56k safe-

[dk3dknight]

I realized after great strive ive never shown my artwork on here...
Theres a reason theres a 3d in my username...

Everything you see here is made in bryce 5 or bryce 5.5 and made by me.

A render I made for my mom on mothers day.


The second in my Castle in the sky series...


The 5th in my Castle in the sky series, take note in the error on the left of the bad land mass.. corrected in the 6th


The 6th in the Castle in the sky series


This was a pyamid boolean test take note of the mixed materials as a cylinder was cut through the pyramid.


Part of my wine glass series this one is titled holy grail


This is part of something I was building to explain materials its a red dice on a world map.


Different view of the red dice.


Part of the wine glass series this one is titled a night on the town.


Part of the wine glass series this one is titled good day


Another experiment in Boolean, positive and negative spaces.


A render that is accompanied in text to inform that the chief inspector is training.. most likely never used...


A carribean drink a experiment in making glasses note the straw and ice cubes.


A 3d cup of coffee... with steam, I later placed #1 boss on the cup for my boss to help cheer him up.


While called cup of joe im not really sure why I did that, this has a glass bowl full of water and a wine glass full of water with some spilt water, this is all resting on a mirror.


A glass mug full of water.


Another in the wine glass series this one is titled lonely night


A Glass mug full of water with some special effects including refractions and blured reflections.


This is a redglass sitting on a mirror take note as the water is reflected and the material on the glass.


Thats all for now.

Very impressive artwork. Now I have two questions.

1. How long did it take to make those pics?
and
2. How much did the program cost?

Very nice eye candy, but they do have that "computer look" to most of them.

You know, ultra perfect lines, very clean and sterile, overlayed. Not knocking your efforts, just saying that with some tweaking you could have stuff which could not be distinguised from real life. Except for the fact some of those images could not exist in nature.

Example, the green glass. The straw is bent, but is not a "bendy". The shadow is very sharp and green. - not realistic. The background is just bland and lacks depth. Again, not nit-picking because any one of these elements would make for a nice image. But when incomplete, that is when you get that computer look.

That was fine in the early days of computer graphics because objects seem to defy time, gravity, and space. That was the fun of it. But today, it is all about not being discernably fake to the human eye.

1. All you see here are basic, easy to make taking maybe less then 15 mintutes to set up, the render time matters on the level of antialiasing and the size of your chosen render, which could be 1-2 hours on high settings or if you went crazy with blended reflections and refractions, depth of field and true ambiance (true ambiance is a killer on time), then you might think more or less a render time of 6-12 hours.

2. Bryce 5 and 5.5 last I checked cost 50 - 65 dollars bryce 6 costs about
100 bucks.

I admit this is all basic stuff nothing fancy, I wish I was good as some bryce artists, also understand my work is nothing but surreal, I like that stuff.

Oh some more of my more crazy artwork.

3d movie.

Ice Mountain

Waskily Water


These do not have such high settings and could be rendered in minutes and or seconds small and easy to render.

Thats a great assessment..

Some of this stuff I was teaching someone how do something.. its mostly old work I do not really any of my newer renders.. through not much time, they don't let me play with Bryce at much at work, not exactly in my job description .

Oh and that straw, theres alot of humor on that, that straw didn't want to be made its two objects that only appear to be a straw its more or less a optical illusion.

I was teaching someone the basics of creating a glass object in bryce ill reiterate for you.

First you actually create 1 cylinder, give it a glass texture.. make a copy and decrease its width and bottom heighth by a few inches, increase the Y (top) height so it overlaps well over the original cylinder.

Now you could do the boolean operation now, but I like to get the water in as well so I also make a copy of the smaller copy and decrease the Y height.

Select your green glass and press P on the keyboard, deselect and select the taller yet small cylinder and hit N on the keyboard, now select both objects and group them.. and the boolean operation should mathematically cut the object.

Go ahead and play with your water to get that look and feel you want, add some stones with ice texture or water texture for ice.

The straw was created with two cylinders rotated just right... resizing might be needed, boolean that with smaller cylinders to create a cutout of the inside of the straw.

Boolean operations exists within the physics of positive and negative space, negative space subtracts from positive space.

Very nice... I'm a fan of the red glass and the red dice.

Good work!

Thank you... I appreciate good comments and bad...

Did you check the 3d movie in my other posts... I know I know
its quicktime, but quicktime has the vr movie exports attached to them.

WMP doesn't do vr last I checked...
