It's 3D *cough8 abstract. You will need a 3D application to recreate it. It has been bought together in Photoshop but it was created outside.

do you know any programs?

Cinema 4D (C4D)
3D Studio Max (3dSM)

....

that actually appears to be Bryce abstract. I used to make Bryce abstracts, and mine looked similar.

That graphic is poop by the way, I hate the composition, it doesn't fit, specially the guy at the top.

I don't understand why you guys are saying you need a 3D modelling program to make an image like that. Sure it might be easier to just place a bunch a 3D objects and tweak around with light sources till you see what you like...but there's certainly no reason why that image couldn't be produced in Photoshop alone. The off-colored, ill-fitting little sniper man is obviously just a cut 'n paste from a game screenshot, and the rest could be made a number of ways, some easier, some harder...some cheaper, some more expensive.

I'm a big fan of using whatever tools you have at your disposal, currently. IOW, if you don't already have the $2,500+ 3D modelling/rendering program then I see no need to rush out and get one. Do it in PS. Or, if you must, download PoV-Ray, a freeware 3D modeller/raytracer capable of producing better images than 3D modelling software costing an infinite amount more. ;)

Cmon then outpatient put your money where your mouth is and produce a convincing 3D effect piece that will fool me into thinking it was done in a 3D app.
