On the house, the lightning and the lighting effect are realistic. The upside-down tree is cleaver also. I think a mix of them both would make a real nice scene. The upside-down tree, I understand how to do. To make an object in another application and render it in Bryce. Well, this may sound easy, but I have a feeling its not that easy. Another question I have is: Can I use this Kai Power Tools 6 plug-in and get the same effect? I just think why buy another application when a plug-in will do the same thing. I am going to research them both and make a decision which way to go. Thank you for the ideas.
