My first models after using MoI and Bryce 6.1 for a week. My only previous 3D experience was with TrueSpace in 2003 - I gave up in frustration after a week of using.

Now I can move on to more complex images!

Ed

Ring 2D profiles drawn in Corel Draw and swept in Moi.
Blueprint drawn 2D in Corel Draw and imported into a plane in Bryce.
Rendered in Bryce 6.1 using a night "sky" plus three main lights.
Blueprint paper texture added in post processing using Paint Shop Pro.

Very cool Ed - I'm glad that MoI is working well for you!

The render turned out nice, that sky worked well for making a good reflection.

Looks like you are off to a great start.

If you get stuck on anything or need any help figuring out how to approach a more complex model or something, please don't hesitate to post here about it.

It would also be great to see any other images you make later on too!
