laffing a bit about the rats... That was the reason I made them light brown. l Dark brown/black does create that problem. Do you have a hint as of how I can solve it? And; you're right about the textiles! In fact, making textiles with Bryce mats would be a wish for a future challenge! As of this point I think I'll have to resort to postwork. The image consists of two full renders (I made the watery ground with an extra terrain, and rendered the whole image twice. Once with the extra terrain and once without. so that was 2 x 7.5 hours!!!) Hmm.... let me play with Photoshop a bit. :) Thanks for the input!
