no, you have to have photoshop or something similar to make the picture. Try to find a large picture of a flamingo. Grab it and then in whatever art program you have, find a nice big square of pure texture, select that, cut it out of the pic and save it as a new image. Then go into bryce, on your object, click on the m to get the materials editor. Click on the second button from the left to bring up the little gold man, then click on the top button directly above that to get the loader. You'll see three windows, the first is alpha, the second is, I think transparency, and the thirs is a combination of both. Click where it says load, and go thru the files to find the picture you just made. Load that. Do the same thing in the second window, Since you're in Bryce 3, you'll need to look above the second window to find a button that's half black and half white. Click that to reverse the transparency, which will make your texture brighter. Then adjust your settings in the materials editor like always. I'd say set diffusion and ambiance to your picture, and set the rest to colors if you want, Maybe set bump to the picture. Then, if you need to, click the top left button and start scaling and moving the texture around. Apply it to your model, then, if you like it, click on the edit arrow to bring up the library, and just add the material you just made to the library. Are you confused yet? lol

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
