Description
This is a crystal staff I wanted to try to create in Bryce. It didn't come out 100% like I was going for, but I like it nonetheless. I made it by first taking a column shape and making it extra thin. I then applied a wood texture. For the crystal part itself, I created a sphere. I applied a crystal texture to that. For the light, I first created a visible volumetric light inside the crystal sphere, giving the light a bluish color. To create the glow AROUND the crystal sphere, I created a second visible volumetric light with the same color, centered it on the center of the crystal sphere, and then made it larger than the sphere. For the ground, I just applied a wet, grassy texture. The end result is what you see. I'm still a definite novice with Bryce and digital art in general, but I'm reading up on various tutorials, manuals, etc. in the hopes of being able to create bigger and better things with Bryce (including screens and movies for games). I hope you enjoy the pic, though!
