Description
I know a place.
Bleak, dry, and lifeless it's home is a world distant from us.
If you were to somehow find yourself transported there you would find a barren cruel world littered with the remains of those who trespassed before you. A world so desolate that it would threaten to crush you with the weight of Death as it has so many others before you.
But even here, among the bones, one may find Hope.

Technical information:
This is a Bryce landscape Print which I have created.
With the exception of the human skull, everything which you see was modelled solely within Bryce.

The cracked mud flat which stretchs off into the distance was created by tiling over 330 terrain objects to create the seamless vista while Photoshop 6 was used for minor airbrushing touch ups.

The distant mesas are crafted from an additional 8 "Bryce Classic" terrains with custom filtering and clipping. Once again, small blemishes were cleaned up via Photoshop Airbrushing.

The human skull has been imported from Poser 4. Custom texturing was applied using Bryce's Deep Texture Editor and extensive airbrushing was done to merge the skull into the mud flat and to clean up numerous artifacts from the model.

The flower had it's rough beginning as a customized symmetrical lattice. The basic outlines and shading were rendered in this manner, and were then extensively cleaned up and modified using Photoshop.

The ringed planet is a basic sphere primitive and torus primitive scaled up to over 1500 Bryce units in size and placed several thousand units away from the camera.

The sky contains customized colors, cloud layers and haze settings using Bryce's Sky Lab.

The camera angle is a 360 degree panoramic rendering (the camera renders everything in a circle surrounding it). This required the terrains to surround the camera on all sides.

The completed Bryce file contains over 350 objects and just shy of 165 million polygons and possesses a file size of 320MB.

The completed rendering is 22 inches x 74 inches, at 300dpi with a file size just shy of 500MB.

The full view will display the entire vista.

The Print version will be available from Pixelprintz.
