Thank you, tjohn. :) Of course I suppose the most of the work was done in Photoshop, smoothing the beejezus out of the photography. *lol* Also masking out the angels, so that I in reality got 2 terrains that fitted together. The bacground with the columns rather dark grey. and the masked angels also gray, but with a lighter grayish tone. So what I did in Bryce was 1) created the terrain, - and into the terrain editor I went and **set the terrain resolution *g*** to gigantic resolution. I assume that it would work wil a bit less, but for this I used that. 2) I went to the picture thingy in the editor, and pasted my gray image into it, - then OK'ed out to the scene. 3) I duplicated the terrain, and **did not move it**. went back into the terrain editor. Since this was a duplicate the terrain resolution was correct. I went to the picture tab, and this time just pasted in the masked version of my photo. (had to smooth it and lower it a bit). Then OK'ed out to the scene again 4. Grouped the two terrains, - and applied the colour photography as a material. I used the same technique for the house fasades and windows in the linked image. Only here, I made sure that the window areas became "empty" (clipping in the terrain editor), so that I could put in glass panes in the window frames. :) Evidently, I must have set the terrain resolution in that image correctly by accident! *lol* Because I never had the problem there. If anybody would like to see screen shots of the terrain editor etc, just gimme a yell, and I'll put it up. And Sharleen; *lol* do you suppose somebody would gimme back the hair I've been pulling out the past coupla weeks? *lol*
