The Blues Club Guitar

Let's take a look at the guitar, which is the most complex part of the image in that it has about 150 individual parts. Every piece was crafted with an eye to detail. Here's the body of the guitar.

Many pieces of the guitar were made from images that were created in another drawing program and brought into Bryce terrains as grayscale PICTS, whereas other parts were generated from primitives. The following close-up of part of the guitar shows the level of detail possible when using this method. Note that each part is a separate object.

Here are most of the grayscales used to create terrains that make up the guitar.

Several PICT's generated in a separate graphics program were imported and mapped onto the various terrains. Here they are:

The various metallic and plastic parts that had no applied PICTs were generated with no textures, rather they rely entirely on optical properties of the surface itself. Note how differences in properties leads to a variety of metallic-plastic surfaces.
