A still life arrangement of Poppies, I expected this to render without the difficulty of some of my more complex images, but it turns out the hairy stems using complex displacement maps to create the hair, never rendered he way the preview versions did.

I used complex model trees as well as Bryce's built in trees, which caused the source file for this image to be 115 megs. I think that may be a record for me.

Bryce 5 handles complex models like this grass slower than Bryce 4, but the addition of the 'depth of field' more than makes up for it.
This is one of my more popular images. The grass in the foreground was even used on a Canadian postage stamp.

Bryce 5's trees refused to work the way I wanted, so I used complex models in the solid glass spheres instead. This turned out to be a mistake. Due to the intense reflection depth rendering, this took a week to render.

Creating this many pillars individually would have been impossibly complex. I instead made a solid block, with a grid of negative cylinders inside, carving out the archways.

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

Multiple multi-replications in Bryce, approaching the complexity of a living machine.
