"Following a malfunction in space, John Robinson and Major West manage to guide the Jupiter 2 to a rare 'safe' landing on yet another unknown world. Unsure about local conditions, they send out the robot to reconnoitre.
As Robot soon discovered, the natives were just as interested in the visitors as the crew were about the locals..."
Wow - I've been waiting for some time (years, in fact!) to post an image like this! I actually built the Jupiter 2 and the Robot from scratch in RayDream 4, several years ago, when I first started modelling in 3D... However, I didn't have a suitable environment in which to show them off. RayDream at the time wouldn't cut it for landscapes, and Bryce 2 had limited import options - so that was that!
Then, along came RayDream 5 and Bryce 3D, with greater import/export options between them. Unfortunately, I had forgotten about this project altogether until recently. When I remembered, I realized that now, both the Jupiter 2 and the Robot could be brought into Bryce...
Minor tweaking later, I dropped the models into a recycled terrain (think of it as a movie set that I can dress up for diferent scenes), and all that was missing were some aliens! The new set of morphs for Zygote's Millennium Woman provided some interesting starting points, (I added the 'crest'); and the weird 'Bad Dog' model from Biomechanix gave them the companion they needed, when given a new skin tone more in keeping with the local scene!
