hey Zhann? in Bryce if you click on that little preview window in the terrain editor, you can adjust which angle you look at your terrain from.... it even has a lil spin button on it... for lattices, i'm always tipping it forward so i can see it from the top..lol as for poly's...I been playing with cybermesh, but i can't seem to figure it out....(think i fried my brain cells readin bout all you lush's in that other post hehehehehe...either that or in wings...LMAO) If i get this thing figured out, i'll let ya know.. but from those results up above, if you go with HIGH poly's, there looks to be no reason to smooth too.... perhaps i can find a happy medium someplace...who knows...
