Wow, these look really great. At the same time they look new 'n' 3d'ish while keeping the retro-feeling up 'n' high 
Keep up the good work!

Thank you, happy that you like these.
Each individual object, in all of these 3D scenes, is built cube by cube, by plotting the cubes side by side. I can group a section of cubes together to create an object, then hit Control+D to duplicate that object, but nothing besides that duplication is automated in these renders. Each object still has to be "built" block by block the first time around to create it.
I used Bryce 5 for this, definitely the best modeling software out there for this type of voxel work; by far the most user-friendly. Thank you again for the comment.

Thank you. I make them in Bryce 5 by building everything with cubes, plotting the cubes side-by-side to create each object.

My god it has been ages since I have played this game. Remember playing it a lot when it first came, but at that point we had been waiting for it at least 4 years
