JPGFILE: mh_bbls.jpg RENDERER USED: Bryce 3D TOOLS USED: Bryce 3D sPatch Poser 3 Pixel 3D Corel Photopaint 8 and plug-in filters RENDER TIME: 55 minutes, 35 seconds HARDWARE USED: AMD K6-2 300 MHz FIC VA503+ mother board with 1 MB cache 64 MB SD-RAM 11.2 GB total hard drive space Trident 9685 4 MB video card IMAGE DESCRIPTION: DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Most of the objects were created with Bryce 3D. The hand, of course, was made with Poser 3. The spiderweb and butterfly were created with the terrain editor of Bryce after drawing the basic shapes with Photopaint and importing the image. The spider was created with Pixel 3D and imported as a .dxf. The lily parts, yellow dandelions, and leaves were made with sPatch. The planet was initially created with Bryce 3D. I took the image and modified it some by adding a lens flare and then used the final image as a material inside of a "bowl". The contents of each bubble were created individually and then merged. In order for everything to fit neatly into the bubbles, I used the "intersect" boolean option of Bryce to "erase" everything outside of a sphere. The bubbles themselves consist of two spheres, one positive and one negative, to make them appropriately hollow.
