You'll need to convert the vector graphic to a bitmap image with a canvas size set to one Bryce's base 8 terrain sizes - at least 512x512 or 1024x1024. I use Photoshop to convert to .TIFF - anything works except for compressed formats like JPEG (well, they work but not too well). Then you just need to open Bryce's Terrain Editor and load the image with the Pict button. What I think might work better is to Export the file From AI to the AI8 format and try loading it into the free Wings modeler (link), do a extursion there and then export to .OBJ for Bryce. The problem with terrains is that they can't do a true vertical and the file size can be huge. To be honest I've never tried loading any Illustrator files in Wings but it's listed as a supported format. HTH; Dan
