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.

The results of my first experiments with a new 3d terrain program I just discovered. The moon was added in Photoshop.

My first experiments with lighting gels in Bryce.

An experiment with atmosphere and light in Bryce, which turned out to be a monster to render.

A long forgotten magical place, or is it what happens when no one is around to see water play? Based on my experiments with drawing water ripples with the terrain editor in Bryce.

I had put this one aside not expecting I would get anything decent out of it. Forgetting about it, I loaded it to see what it was and after extensive lighting experiments I found one of my favorite images.
