December Show Off Thread 2023 - Sunset to Sunrise

Thanks Kathryn, I have more somewhere lol. I tend to end up with dawn/sunset or night renders as the lighting is more interesting (frustrating!)

You hit the nail on the head, DreamWeaver! This is why I chose this challenge theme. It has so many possibilities, and the lighting is more interesting, often helping to set the mood.

Sunrise/sunset are not too tricky but night scenes are a bear lol

Sometimes when you don't have family.. you have to take your cat out to see the Xmas lights...

Excellent render, Kathryn. I don't have a family, other than my brothers and sisters, and only my oldest brother lives with me. Neither of the two of us have ever had children, and I have never been married, and not for lack of trying. We have three cats between the two of us, and they are our babies. Cookie Baby is the oldest, being more than 13 1/2 years old. In cat years that makes her older than me. She loves me more than anything else in the world. I have gone out with her, looking at the Christmas lights, this time of year.
Thank you for the memories!

That's one thing I can't get Bryce to do convincingly, Simon. When I try animations in Bryce, it crashes.
There used to be a thing called Bryce Lightning, and you could use multiple computer that had it installed to speed up rendering images, and to do animated clips, with Bryce installed on one computer. I'm trying to find Bryce Lightning at DAZ now and it seems to be unavailable.

Do you have a network?  I have a feeling that it comes with Bryce, but isn't installed unless a network is detected.  Bryce is pretty old, too.  It may not work with Windows 10.
