How are the pictures made?
The pictures are modelled and rendered in Bryce3d (v3.1). The
program's
strongest side is outdoor modelling and its user interface. After you
have
added a nice sky and some water, everything looks marvellous. The
weaknesses
are problems with getting technical stuff in the correct size/position
and
modelling organic shapes. The modelling tools are also a bit
restricted,
but it becomes a sport to make whatever you want out of simple shapes
like
spheres and cubes. Newer versions seems to adress some of those
weaknesses and I will buy a newer version any year.
