wanted to try a more stylized effect for a change. took a manip I did of zealot and put her into a Bryce scene and added a .3ds dragon. Brought the compiled pic into Photoshop and played with color. Lots of color. I airbrushed the lava drool in photoshop. using levels and saturation, I got a look thats a bit more "painted" than photorealistic. could've spent more time on the finishing details, but I liked the colors, so I stopped.
I have been tooling around with bryce a little, and it can be "stubborn". but its fun, too. Here is a link to some bryce stuff I did. under "3d environs". http://matrixblur.com/sparetime.html
Hey, Matrix, you remembered! Wow, I actually got a request filled. Dude, you are coming along by leaps and bounds. Bryce? .3ds? Hanh??
Do you use Bryce? If so, I am impressed. I tried it, it's even harder to use than Flash. This is a great Manip, the colors are exhilarating. I, to, would love to see a bigger version of this.
