On this block

[jwalt]

I came up with an idea for a "single room" game using this "block" as a background. Most of the action will take place on the green bench in the middle shot. Open to opinions and suggestions?

I intend to scroll the room. Would I be better served here, in this forum, to insert the background into a default game, with Roger, and post screen capture(s) instead of these Bryce renders? The modeling was done in sPatch and Bryce.

Edit 1: @ dactylopus - Replaced first and third images after trying to make the signs more readable.

For some reason, I am reminded of the movie Clerks.

I say go for it.  It looks like a nice, simple setting.

I'd recommend coming up with a good reason we can't go beyond the edges of the block.  What would be to the right of the Academie, or the left of the Galleria?  I'd also try to fix up the text and / or font used on the signs, it is a bit difficult to read.

I had tried several different things with the bus bench, and nothing I did in Bryce corrected the color problem. I brought the bench model into DAZ Studio to help with the character animations, and the bench looks good.

This image has also got me thinking about the street scene. Most of what I had in mind takes place on the bench, so maybe that's all I need. The street was just meant to generate a little walking room, with a lame attempt at a bit of comedy.

BTW, these are some lower resolution characters I recently purchased. They work in DAZ Studio and seem pretty versatile. They look better with the BVH files, too, although there are still issues.

Maybe the background is a little too empty of objects.
I prefer others renderes than bryce, but usually they are more complex. Nice work.
