This image came about while I was experimenting with the different render modes with Bryce 5.

I needed a simple and quick rendering image so I wasn't sat around waiting for an image to render, only to find the result nasty.

The result, this weird abstract teletubby type thing.

The "Metaballs" are in fact not true metaballs, but simply spheres, Boolean affected to hollow them out.

Yet still, its clean edges and smooth textures do draw the eye into its silky curves.

This image was rendered at full quality within Bryce, yet I feel that normal quality produces better results, especially when it comes down to the anti-aliasing of the final image, if you download the full version you'll see that the colour gradients are not perfect.
