Composite Render - Robby Goes Italian!

There are lots of things you can do with your Bryce 5 model of Robby to get him into trouble! Here we see that Bryce 5 Robby has found a new career in these troubled economic times. Yes, even 3-D graphical images need to make ends meet.

This image was created using a Photoshop composite method. I took a picture of the leaning tower of Pisa that I got for free on the Internet (http://www.rahawan.com/). I sized it to 640 x 480. I then set up Robby in Bryce 5 at the same document size and posed him using the techniques in this tutorial. As I was going to remove the background, I did not fuss with it in Bryce 5, but I did set up the lights to match the picture background. I then rendered Robby and saved the image as a Photoshop file. I selected Robby, set the render to Object Mask and rendered again to get a Robby Mask. That took care of the Bryce 5 stuff.

Next I went to Photoshop and brought Robby into the Pisa picture on a new layer. I brought in the Robby Mask into the same picture as a new layer. I selected the White areas of the mask, inverted the selection, switched to the Robby layer and hit DELETE. That isolated Robby and allowed him to look like he was in the Pisa image (okay, it's a stretch!). I then took images of the soda cans and the Italian flag and put them in the picture-- as well as the type-- all using Photoshop techniques.
