I'm all for no imports of premade stuff. I don't have a lot of experience at modeling but I like the idea of being the creator of my Bryce scene and its contents. Plus, I love building things :-) I think that using an image in the lattice or terrain editor to create an object should be allowed. Because that takes some skill at using bryce to make it happen. Can we use objects that we have previously made? Ok, I should go work on building a god. Angela
