Bonfire

Made with Bryce

Inspired by LitoNico, I tried a campfire as well. My landscape is not so good, I'm afraid. The rocks are black at the inside from the soot. The logs in the fire are double terrains: black (burnt, cold) and 25% transparent red with a yellow light in them to get some emanating glow. The left part of the fire is courtesy of David as is the material for the background mountains. The right fire is a tweaked standard Bryce one. Perhaps I should stop my scorn about round snowflakes. They certainly have a use: two cylinders with red and black snowflakes to make up the ash and embers rising due to the heat.

Thanks Ahh - I know how it feels, when you have the reality clearly in front of your mental eye. Thanks for the tip about the stones. I wonder wether I ever find the german name of those. I should have thinned out the ashes to appear more random. The sky - yeah, I've seen much better here. However, I will not resort to picture-skies. I'll have to do better in Bryce. I'm a conservative purist in this (do I hear merry laughter from David?). The fire: two elongated spheres. The one at left uses the ?Azathot-Plasma? material by David, the right one the fire you'll find in the Bryce library under the topic ?complex? (or whatever it is called in the english version), last material in 4th row.

good job! I love the campfire. exactly haw did you do the flame? the rocks are good, but I would recommend using the purple rox texture on the campfire stones. also, the ashes should be random and sparce. I have just spent a week camping in canada so I have (some) experiance with fire. for the sky, try taking a digital picture and importing it into bryce.
