Roadside Picnic

My stalker obsessed friend has the film "Stalker", I've not seen it yet. Maybe one day... The game was more action orientated I understand and the film by comparison may seem a bit tame.

David, ha-ha! Some of my friends in spite of its age, too, are in S. T. A. L. K. E. R. I feel sorry for the time to do so. However, A. Tarkovsky film "Stalker" 30 years ago watched with pleasure.

I have indeed read "Roadside Picnic" and enjoyed it. I am also a big fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, but not so much as my friend Stuart who has gone to Whitby today for "Goth weekend" dressed as a Stalker, complete with 3mm armour plated kevlar suit and respirator. I think it is possible to take admiration for a video game too far, thing being a case in point.

Thank you, David! Have you read "Roadside Picnic" Strugatsky brothers? Of course, my picture is not related to this product. But the name I "stole" from Strugatsky.

Bryce5? Wow, I can't wait to see what you could do with Bryce 7 pro. Very good piece, nice material choices, I think Horo covered the main points already and truely. Edit, when I saw the title I confess I was thinking of another Roadside Picnic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_Picnic

Thanks, Rashad. This work was born spontaneously. Tried texture wood stumps. Then added details. Models were manufactured in advance. Therefore, the work done quickly.

A nice earthen sort of image. Very simple and very soothing. I like the implication of two persons. Without any idea who the two parties are, we are likely to assume as viewers that they are partners in some tangible way. I do think you would find the tools in Bryce 7 to be very much what the doctor ordered. Your mastery of manipulation of Bryce 5 lights is exactly what one needs to bang Bryce 7 renders that really pop!! Very nice work once again!

Yes, I understand. I usually do well. Here, apart the Spotlight from the camera, there is still Radial Light to illuminate the knife blade. Both with disabled shadows.

With fill lights, I meant a few radials with casting shadows disabled and cleverly posed. Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you, Horo. You are right about the black shadows. Now I do see it. The work was done over a year ago, and some models for 4 years. Could weaken the shadows in the Sky Lab. But in Bryce 5 "fill lights" were not. -)) Here the source is the Sun and front lights from the camera.

That's a nice one, I like it a lot. Very nice details. The only thing I see that could be improved are the black shadows. Perhaps reducing shadow intensity in the light lab would be enough - or a very few fill lights.
