    mermaid, adbc: Done! With "surbrycing" results. Not what I had actually planned for... but imo "acceptable". ;)

    It's sorta "Minimalism Hubism": Only 1 Torus, 1 Cube, 1 Light and 1 bitmap. (The bitmap texture used for the torus' bump channel. The 2nd scene has a greyish Sky Dome Color.)

    I was amazed by the intricate details by using only 2 objects.

    Here is the preview:
    ABS18-Torus-128-Hubism_2022-07-03_preview


    You can download both BR4 workfiles here (as a 10kB ZIP with two BR4 files, no readme. Tested in Bryce7.):

    Have fun. :)

    Horo - great vibe from that flower field!

    A fascinating thing about Bryce is how you can get complex patterns out of refraction and/or glass materials applied to super basic geometry, when you get curious about interesting potential camera placement... 

    So I put the camera inside a 100% reflective Cone primitive (with a noise-generated bump map) that is stretched out to form a super long spike, and squashed a bit on one other axis.

    By default nothing much interesting renders except darkness but by adding a bit of Haze to the scene I ended up getting this explosion looking thing (attached).

    Currently working with animating it to actually look like a build-up/flash/falloff , but I find Bryce's animation tools extremely limited and quite frustrating to deal with...

    Wow Hubert one amazing result, truly fascinating work.  I noticed from your previous work that you use bitmaps to get amazing materials. Thanks for sharing the file.

    Retro3DCG - I agree Bryce is an amazing software, and so versatile, nice work..

    Retro3DCG - thank you. Bryce has indeed great transparency and refraction options that can give interesting results. Refraction below 100 (i.e. < 1 = air) is a particularly cool option, though physically impossible. Your render gives the impression to race at super high speed through the air.

    Three self made terrains with a material from High Resolution Terrains 4, the water got the material from the same set. Lit by an HDRI (Gasclouds_B10).

    Horo:
    Thanks! Kudos to Bryce to create such unusual ehm "landscapes". Your islands rock. Cool mats and atmosphere!

    Retro3DCG:
    Warp9 and beyond!! Great effect and depth. I love the refreshing cool colors.

    mermaid:  
    > I noticed from your previous work that you use bitmaps to get amazing materials.
    Yes, whereas it depends on the actual scene. I use bitmaps occasionally for bump, transparency and coloring effects. Not only mere b/w pattern, but sometimes even older colorful Hubisms.

    Not to forget Bryce's impressive DTE (Deep Texture Editor) with its endless possibilities.

    Here are some older images from DTE experiments:

    Always be nice to Bryce! :)

    Horo – another amazing render

    I had a lovely time last night playing with the files Hubert shared above. Here’s a collage of my renders. The full size images are on my Pinterest Board. The green abstract is view thru the EWL. Thanks Hubert for the files and the links you shared.I changed the Sky Dome color and moved the camera.

    Thank you hubert and adbc.

    mermaid - thank you. Four beautifully done abstracts. The one at lower right is my favorite.

  • huberthubert Posts: 414

    adbc, Past as Future: Thanks! :)

    mermaid: Wonderful playing and presentation! Dito Horo, the lower right one is my favorite.

    Thanks Horo and Hubert

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    mermaid : great result on the abstracts, the upper left and the lower right are my favourites.

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,490

    Thanks Adbc

    When I was away from Bryce on holiday, you all kept working diligently and created several wonderful renders and even showed us some great animations. Too much to comment one by one now, but great works, be it abstract or realistic. Back from holiday, I will start looking into doing some myself again.

    And, of course, thanks to all for reactions on my last render.

    An abstract, using only one torus and an HDRI sky, resulting in some kind of web.

    adbc: Cool result! Looks like an entrance to another dimension.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,643

    adbc - like a painting, cool abstract with a beautiful result.

    Adbc -  wow awesome abstract, I agree with both Horo and Hubert.

    Retro3dcg, I really like the effect on the cube frame image.

    Hubert, amazingly intricate designs.  I kept staring at them to see if I could find the original object.

    Horo, like how your islands have a water ring around the beach area. 

    Mermaid, so beautiful, all of them.  Love the addition of color.

    adbc, lovely abstract. At first it was like being inside of a flower but the more I looked the more it seemed to be in space.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    hubert, Horo, mermaid, NGartplay : thank you for your kind comment.

    adbc, wonderful abstract, lovely colours.

    Mermaid, Terrain and sky look very good.

    I made two renders using the Gritstone Hill number 3. I modified the position of the hill, the light and the texture of the water in the first one and made further modificationsm, including a substantial position change, other texture and other HDRI (all from David Brinnen and Horo), with some changes.

    Horo - love the terrain work you did in the three island shot

    hubert - I appreciate the kind feedback!  your DTE experiments are awesome, just looked through a bunch

    adbc - thanks so much - that web shot looks like it would be fun to play with

    mermaid010 - top right is my fave of the abstracts, especially the color combo - really nice job

    Hansmar - welcome back. I really like the feeling of depth and distance and scale on that first one you just posted!

    NGartplay - thank you for the kind words!


    @all - i am currently rendering a 7680x4320 cyberpunky still frame, and due to some use of Volumetric fog materials, it has been taking an expectedly long time.. 24 hours so far.. almost done.. but this got me thinking..  What's the largest resolution render you've done?  It's pretty impressive in my opinion that 20+ year old software (I'm using Bryce 4) can output 8K....

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,643

    Hansmar - both renders look great, I like the first a bit more.

    Retro3DCG - thank you. I sometimes render several 4000 x 2000 with adjusted lighting for each one to combine to a HDRI. Usually I use 1600 wide. I only experimented once wider than 4000 with render to disk. I was not happy with the result. I also experimented with several 4000 wide once and combined them to a bigger size with an external program. I have a tutorial on my website: Raytracing > Tutorials > Bryce > Render > 4000 pixels.

    mermaid : beautiful landscape, great sky and terrain material.

    Hansmar : Thank you. Two awesome renders, my favourite is also the first one.

    Retro3DCG : thank you.

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,490

    Thanks Horo, Hansmar and Retro3DCG

    Hansmar - two beautiful renders

  • huberthubert Posts: 414

    mermaid: A very moody image. Great terrain work and your sky is just gorgeous!

    Hansmar: Two calm and serene cenes. The upper one is my favourite.

    Retro3DCG: Thanks. I am deeply impressed of Bryce's DTE capabilities!

    Horo: Interesting details. Besides, many thanks for your great and very helpful Tutorials! :)

    Hubert - thanks
