I believe that this is the most intrincate work I've done so far. Instead of just doing a random abstract in bryce, slapping a few brushes on top of it and posting it, I made an effort on this one.

The model was made in Wings 3D, and then rendered in Bryce. The PS7 brushing took me an entire afternoon and so many tutorials that I can't even begin to list them here, but let's just say that * everything * I did was a first try to me. Starfields? New. Rays of light? new. The explosion on the tip of the beam? new. The rays around the beam? new. So there you go. I hope the following works look better than this one, I know I have * a lot * to improve yet.
