Description Woo! this is a re-done version of something that I found lurking in my archives and submitted to my scraps a while ago (it should still be there )

It is basically the same, but I did a new battery, some new wires, and a smaller surface for everything to stand on. A few other minor changes, and some new textures.

Hope y'all like it - Comments / criticisms appreciated

Oh, this is very cool. I especially like the texture you used for the sphere. Also, your wood texture is just gorgeous.

little suggestions:: I would add something to fill up the black space. Ya know, just something to catch the light, instead of letting it fade off into the void. Something as simple as a basic flat wall might make the piece feel a little more stable. Hmm, and to me, it feels like maybe the table should go a little further back *shrug*. Also, I like the lighting you used, but I wish I could make out the shadows a little better.
Keep up the good work!

Just curious... What program do you use for rendering?

Thanks so much for the comment

I see what you mean about the table, and the black space; perhaps I could put the whole thing in a room? I'll have a play around.
I like the lighting too () but the problem is that the only source of light comes from within the sphere, meaning that the shadows tend to be slightly odd looking because the light is so close to the objects. Perhaps if I extend the table, and add some walls in the background for more shadows to be cast onto, the whole thing would look more solid.

Now I come to think about it, the battery seems too dominating with its bright colours. Do you think it would look better if I toned it down slightly?

Thanks again for commenting

Modelled and rendered in Bryce 5, textures edited in Photoshop 7.

Oh! the sphere is the light source? That's really cool. I hadn't realized that. But yeah, I think some kind of room would be great, I'm sure it would help make those cool shadows a litte more obvious. And on the battery, I really like it the way it is. I think the bright colors really draw your attention to it.

I went into your scraps and saw the original version, and seeing the steps you've taken from that one to this one, I'm really hoping you do some more changes. I'll be watching for it, I'm sure it would be awesome.
