Models and explanations Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Here on this side I want to explain, how I made my models.
On the following sides I will show some of my models and explain the particularities.

I saw ( some years ago )in an English magazine about computer art, that you can do things like that with Bryce.
From that time on I tried it myself. And I liked it very much.
To see the developing of the models in Bryce is really nice.

I use Bryce, Poser and Ray Dream Studio for the 3D part of my pictures.
Photo Paint and Corel Draw for the rest.

The main program I used to make my models is Bryce.

In Bryce you have a terrain editor. This editor is interpreting gray scales.
White is up and black is down. The rest is between this two extremes.
So if I take a white square I will get a cube. If I place a smaller black square on the white one, I get a hole in the cub.
If I place a gray blending on the side of the white square I will get a slanting at the side of the cub.
And so on.
The problem is, you have to put all the gray scales in the right positions.

You can do it with a photo editing program like Photo Paint or with Corel Draw.
If I have more time I will explain some techniques with Corel Draw.

For a better understanding I show you here picture from the side of the mirror. I inverted it, otherwise it was difficult to see something. The spikes have a blending so I got the pyramid form. The black parts ( here they are white ) I take away in the terrain editor, and ready is side part of the mirror.

Simple things like a cub or a cross, you can do very fast.
For the more complex things you need some exercise in Corel Draw.

On my download page I have a simple terrain model with a blending map ( a wall ) for you.
I think it will show you the theories better.

Below some of my models will follow and I will explain the particularities.
You can follow the pages one after the other, or go back to the thumbnail pictures to choose the models directly.
