Cool scene so far :-) Like Shadow said, disable the sun. Then place a spotlight wherever you want it - I'd say just outside the window so it's facing inside the church. If you're using Bryce5, here's the settings on the spotlight in the Light Lab: Edge Softness: 100% Cast Shadows: Normally I use 100% on both Shadow Ambience and Soft Shadows. The shadow color set to black. This increases your render times though. It's good not to use this option while you're positioning your spotlight, since you will do a lot of waiting for the preview window to catch up LOL... Render Options: Select Visible Object and Volume. You can select Infinite Light too. Those are the basic settings. You can also use Volume World if you've got patience. BTW, I have a few screenshots of various lighting techniques on my site, including this one: http://www.geocities.com/bookjunkkee68/LightingCup.html Good luck! Doug
