    I offer a $10 gift card to be assigned as the LilSideChallenge #12 coordinator deems fit.

    I think I understand the challenge, but I'm not 100% sure.  Could you post a few more examples?

    This is what I think.

    * I think I post two images, GIFs, or animations 

    - The first image. GIF, or animation is of an outpost in a landscape, or otherwise fits the concept of an outpost.

    - The second image, GIF, or animation is within the outpost, like a vehicle on a street, group entering building, or person in a room.

    - The images are accompanied by at least one work-in-progress post, which incudes a description of something I've done in making an image.  Could be modeling, texturing, loading HDRI, converting between Bryce and Carrara, or whatever.

    - I win back my $10 gift card.

     

    EDIT - by post another example, I don't mean explain with words, I mean post another image pair from the web that saitsfy the challenge.

    BTW - the current Bryce challenge is themed Fantasy Scene, described as "A landscape.  But not any ordinary landscape,  Let's have a Fantasy one."

    I was planning on trying to get my Tree-creatures into Bryce for it

    i was thinking stuff like the old outpost game and age of empires.

    buildings/ settlement on a landscape, alien planet, moon, mars, ancient rome

    outpost of legions roman like soldiers charging the hills.

    the second image would be showing whats inside it.   

    https://www.daz3d.com/frontier-outpost

    predatron https://www.daz3d.com/14mu-outpost

    basically geometric shapes, arches, parked rocket ships, or could be a ship coming in for a landing.

     

    Opening & Establishing Shots

    sighh tried to find a clip of the river chase in the 1992 last of the mohicans movie, but so badly lit, cant see the fort or the landscape

    establishing shot shows the audience where they are. it's baically the whole outpost in one frame.

    Way to start us off, Bunyip.  Most excellent.  I think Colony City is my fav.  Very cool.

     

    Here is my first go.  Establishment shot is a quick space station I put together being approached by a Petitpet ship.  Zoom shot is TangoAlpha's Stella set.  Screenshots of scene setup attached.

    Nice renders, the ship in the space view is a little dark - is more visible in the larger view. Also the ball of stars in the RHS two-thirds of the picture is quite noticeable, maybe a bit of postwork copying/pasting stars in the thinned out area so it gives a more of a solar system whirl look ?

    I appreciate the constructive comments, Bunyip.  I will revisit the space view scene.

    Here is another try by me.  This time a medieval/fantasy setting.

    Veronika - great atmosphere.  Images really invite me in.  I'm wondering happens when they get inside.  Spooky.

    Bunyip - nice use of the Bryce HDR.  Glad you used that part of the challenge going.  Will have to find my own way to use both.  Yay, we need more castles.  If we can do nearly a hundred great Xerr's, we can do a dozen or so castles.

    Stezza - welcome to the party.  This challenge is no picnic, so ants are not a problem.  Very clever.  Excellent renders.

    Bunyip - aha, not only do we need a dozen or so castles, we need plenty of NVIATWAS - vicky in temples!  I recognize that temple from the object browzer.  Need to revisit some of those buildings.

    I should have looked at this first blush

    one needs to be very loose with one's fan art interpretation though cheeky

    I reckon the petrol storage near Port Adelaide looks very similar
