Not

Believe it or not, this started as a cube in topmod. Extruding, smoothing and converting the mesh to "columns" were some of the important steps. The building is composed of about six layers - from the inside out, there is a glass copy with a smaller negative glass copy hollowing out the inside. That's enclosing a solid steel copy with 40 negative floors slicing it vertically. Around the outside are the "columns" made from the original mesh edges, in steel. Inside are two stacks of 40 lights, and a few more surround the outside to eliminate the deep shadows. I find that smooth curved boolean meshes made of glass bring out the worst rendering performance in Bryce. At 1600x1200, this took about 60 hours. I don't know exactly since it finished while I was out shopping this morning. When I was setting it up, I hid the glass and it was going to take about 6 hours, so that hints at the impact. But, it looked too naked without the glass! It really could use some trees, but I would bet it might double the render time again.

When I was a kid, I really enjoyed
HO-scale model trains.
I made a big table in the
basement out of 2x4s,
with plywood on top.
Then, I added the train tracks, mountains,
bridges, tunnels, etc.
All according to my favorite magazine,
Model Railroader.
It was a blast. Later I added
HO-scale cars
and it was blissful.
Nowadays, it's all digital.
I bought a copy of Model Railroader
a couple of years ago.
They had a "digital cab".

Made the model.
A torus subtracts from a larger torus.
Spherical protuberances emerge from the main torus in a fractal manner.
Lights, camera, etc.
A spiral motif envelops the elevator in the center.
Be careful, it's slippery down there.
Rendered with distance, altitude and regular.
Combined with PhotoShop (Open distance render and regular render,
Copy distance and pasteas a new layer,
glowing edges,
levels midpoint 2.00,
in screen mode,
over the regular render.)

Fractal Interiors
 
I have no idea what's growing in the glass flasks!
I saved this model file Saturday afternoon.
I awoke at 4am Sunday morning with a jolt because suddenly everything got quiet, too quiet.
The transformer up the street had failed and I was without power. Normally I'd be OK with that, but this time I had started a render on Saturday afternoon, and everything since then was lost.
When the power came on 6 hours later, I restarted the render.
It's taken until about 85 hours now, just startingo AA, and wants more, but I'm exhausted with it.
This time, I decided to multiply mode instead of screen mode!

I found the dark matter!
Now, if only I can remember where I found it!
Bryce primitives, lights and one big negative light.
Enjoy! Anyone got a DED (dark-emitting diode)?

Welcome to the new jjlG07 pages.
2007.07.05
All pages powered by PHP.
Please excuse the interruption to your regularly scheduled updates. From now on, look forward to more consistency between pages and maybe other new features. The downside is all your bookmarks need to be changed from .html to .php.
We hope you like the new look.
