hello, I'm a total newbie to bryce (*waves hi to everyone*), and if not for the freebie showcase scene by draculaz, I think this would've turned out even worse lol I'm made this gargoyle a couple days back to learn bryce by using it to render the usual type of models I normally work with. I plan to make it a freebie soon, in obp format as what I normally do - give away learning models as freebies :) Anyways I need help with the texture setting.. anybody got a formula on how to make a "stone" look? I've tried and tried and spent all day rendering away, bumps and all, and still cant achieve that *look* (gah!) Attached image is two settings I've been fooling around with, just to show how the model looks with vastly different settings.

That's one super gargoyle!!!!!

It looks excellent, great work...Sharen

That's a super model! Have you tried using image textures or are you trying to use the DTE ?

thanks everyone! gillbrooks: I'm playing around with procedurals, and currently all i can get is a "furry" look that might pass for very corroded stone lol (as shown in pic 2) I'm mostly going for a chunky-stone look that is somewhere between pic 1 and pic 2, but cant seem to get it right. Any pointers are most appreciated! :)

Cool Gargoyle did anyone see the movie (from the 70's)? What about the goofy cartoon series?

Awesome image. My fav is the "Stoned" version.

Looks like it's taking a dump.....LOL Seriously, I love the 'stoned' version......!

Ewww nice! I would like to render that in C4D with HDRI!

and i was like... all right, what did i do now.. some other guy's gonna thank me for being an ass or something.. great work :)

Stoned Gargoyle looks fantastic!

I really like it! Are you trying to get a more weathered looking stone, or did you just mean the stone wasn't "stony" enough? I imagine you're using Bryce 5 or so, (way above my version at least) so I can't be that much help, just thought I'd say it's a nice model and render ;) On the weathered stone note though, I made a rather interesting erroded pottery texture using the pitted concrete material in Bryce 3's preset library. Never underestimate the presets for using as starting points ;)

A most excellent gargoyle!

Looks great!

A note of thanks to Swade who sent me the link to [really cool DTE tutorial](http://users.pandora.be/walter.vandijck/DTEtutorial1.htm). I fooled around with the textures and I'm quite happy with this version.. looks weather-beaten, and not furry-stone lol It's a modification of the veiny stone preset with a bit of concrete thrown in.

Drop me a few renders of it if you use different material settings.. I mostly made this to try out the bryce texturing, so I'm hungry for any feedback/tips, but enough babbling from me ;)
