Solar Egg
Same model used in "Embryo2", but rendered in Bryce7Pro....a sphere inside a torus, bent & twisted (in C4D)....imported .obj to Bryce....smoothed after import. I really like David Brinnen's "The Sun" material for the inner object....casts a nice reflection on the water. (see ProMaterials>Sfx>The Sun) Will try it in at least one other scene.

I didn't realize Bryce materials could act as a light source.....very neat. Need to spend more time in the DTE & your excellent tutorials!

[b]Thanks[/b] for all the great tutorials by you & Horo. Happy New Year!

Thanks! WOW! Thanks for the links David. =)
Thanks Horo! I'll see if I can animate the spots....also want to animate the water.....maybe fly the egg through canyon with animated water flowing through it. =)
Solar egg is looking very nice in the video. If the "sun" inside were solid and the spots moving randomly, that could be an improvement.
Looks really good in the video! Making things "glow" depends on a variety of factors. You should check out the video tutorials if you've not done so, I can give you links... There is a dedicated making things glow tutorial. In this case, here it is via ambience and the specific material options for this material. Some of the more efficient and simpler options for volumetric materials will lend themselves to glowing better than others, because of a lack of internal shadow casting. Also there are a few mini-tutorials on the DAZ Bryce Talk forum relating to various things. There are links from here with some of my recent images, but also I could probably track them down on the DAZ site if you are curious.
