"When I paint my masterpiece"… that Dylan refrain still echoes in my mind from my days as a devoted Dylan fan. I've always imagined painting something that I could consider to be a personal masterpiece. Now, I know that "when I paint my masterpiece," it will be rendered in pixels, rather than paint  Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator; MetaTools Painter and Bryce are my favorite digital imaging tools. As you can see below I especially enjoy navigating the Bryce 3D Landscape generation tool.
