3D RENDERINGS VIA BRYCE 5.5
What follows is brayne gasss emissions expressed through the 3D medium, Bryce. Some of the emissions are strange; some may be controversial; some just "are" -- pent-up pressure from a lack of release of artistic expression required their inclusion on these pages.
The emissions which follow are in fairly accurate chronological order. Green Moon Bay and Pink Moon Bay were my first two attempts to produce a satisfying release and emission using Bryce. I created them concurrently, thus really don't remember which one was actually emitted first.
I pray my mastery of naming skills and originality in choosing names for these emissions don't totally incapacitate you or stun you into inactivity due to your disbelief and awe at such incredible naming skills.
What follows is meant to be a chronological pictorial record of my creative emission process, using Bryce as the main (if not always the only) tool. I am posting these results of my attempts at artistic expression for two reasons:
First, and mainly, so I can keep track of my efforts and determine whether or not there has actually been any kind of success at improving my limited artistic abilities.
Secondly, it is an easily accessed forum wherein those who come across these pages can see for themselves what an individual with little artistic ability is capable of creating. Bryce is a relatively inexpensive program in the 3D software market (in fact, Version 5.5 -- which I used for the production of all of the emissions included herein -- is free), with Version 6.1 weighing in at around $60.00 for an upgrade for owners of Ver. 5.5. (Since I paid for Ver. 5.5, I'll continue to use it until Ver. 6.1 becomes free -- which it will, after the next major upgrade, just as Ver. 5.5 became "free" after the publication of Ver. 6.1.)
I hope you enjoy yourselves while viewing my Bryce Brayne Fahts. Maybe you will get some inspiration to try Bryce for yourself. With Ver. 5.5 being free, and a search on the internet turning up loads of FREE models, materials, textures and skies, Bryce is "free," to very inexpensive to become involved with. There are also loads of free tutorials, so even learning the program is free. It can be inexpensive rather than free only if there is a model or two you just can't live without and which the model creator has decided to assess a monetary charge for.)
LASTLY, a WARNING before proceeding: There are a very, very few of the brayne gasss emissions which depict nudity -- mostly male, and mostly inconsequential unless you zoom in on any particular emission. None of the emissions depict gratuitous nudity; none of the emissions depict "in your face" nudity; none of the emissions depict or even infer a sexually explicit act. HOWEVER, if nudity in any form, no matter how difficult it may be to actually discern the nudity, is offensive to you, you can just not look at those particular emissions which depict nudity. Each emission has a title and date which appears ABOVE the emission. Those emissions which contain nudity will carry a notation of "Nudity Depicted" between the title and the date. The nudity appears basically because it allows the human form to be included in the emissions as naturally appearing; and clothed human forms are difficult models to find. Plus those models that are clothed generally are limited in the possible portrayals of those particular clothing items -- that is to say, nudity is easier to incorporate in a scene than is a particular style of dress. The fact that I am a novice and don't have the wherewithall to change clothing to a particular need, means I am very limited in my emissions which contain "clothed" human forms. No "titillation" factor enters the decision-making process. Hopefully, all the nudity contained in these emissions merely emit a sense of freedom on the part of the human form included.
