haha thanks yeah I would have kinda liked that too....I have such a hard time making realistic looking landscapes. That's what bryce is suppose to be used for yet I still have such a hard time with it :) haha oh well. I kinda wanted it outside but didn't really think of a snowy scene. That could be very cool. Thanks for the advice and about the blue...somehow I placed a light in the scene and then was gonna use it but where the default start location was was just below my water plane and it created that effect so I decided to leave it. Just thought it looked kinda cool and took away from the completely black background which is the one problem I also saw with this.
