go into Bryce click the Create text at the top

click the sphere make it an oval by clicking the Y axis and moving it up, select the sphere, press and hold SHIFT+ALT+d type this: Quantity 20, Offset 0 0 0, Rotate 10 12 10, (leave the rest alone click the little check mark at the bottom of the window) feel free to use your own numbers for the muti replicate!

press CTRL+a to select everything (don't deselect) now press CTRL+m to go into the material lab click the arrow that points to the right (the arrow is beside the shape) now goto simple and fast, click mirror hit enter change the diffusion color to black, now hit enter again

you should now see a reflective abstract image in the preview box up at the top left corner of the screen, if not just try the steps again!

click the arrow pointing right at the top of the screen to the right of the word sky and fog, scroll all the way down and select the black background, press Enter, now if you were you were to render now you wouldn't be able to see anything, we'll fix that right now

deselect now click the create tab and select the sphere click the little square to make the sphere bigger (this is the little square i mean _|) make the sphere so big that it can fit those bunch of spheres inside of the sphere that you've just created

position the larger sphere so it fits all those smaller spheres inside of it

CTRL+click the sphere select sphere 22 hit CTRL+m and give it the same material we gave it before

click the yellow sphere (in the create tab) click it about 8 times now position these spheres inside of the bigger sphere, this is how you get the abstract some light

once thats done click+drag the XZ camera to zoom into the larger sphere (mouseover some of the controls to the left of the screen, it'll show you what they are)

now your ready to render, press the larger sphere on the left to render the sphere is right under the camera TrackBall

good luck!
