I drew the bump map (planet surface) in Photoshop, and spent too much time trying to get it just right, because only 10% shows up in the final image.

I used Bryce's terrain editor to create the bridge, and the ivy. This image might animate well with GT Ripple.

When I started this rendering it was almost warm outside. As I worked, the weather grew colder and started to snow. I'm sure that was just a coincidence.

An idea for the request something alien came to me while experimenting with shapes in Amorphium. Rendered in Bryce for the procedural textures and atmosphere.

Finished, scrapped, and restarted 3 times, I think I'm getting too critical. My concept was shady, yet well lit. Of course, a paradox.

Simple, yet striking. The parts of the model were made in Amorphium, and assembled and textured in Bryce.

Complex textures, not only did I work a long time creating them, but it took 24 hours to render.
