Dear Tempest and Pat: Tempest: The bark material is a photo texture. The ground does look ripply in the foreground - have to work on that. Thank again for taking the time, I really appreciate it. Pat: I seem to be having better luck with your cloud plane idea than I did with the light gels, thanks for that one. You really like those mushrooms - I wasn't too sure about them. It's a photo of mushrooms that I used to create the mushroom lattice and also for the color and bump. If you like it though, it's yours. Let me know and I'll email it to you. Thanks again for all your help and for taking the time. Back to the Bryce mine... Jade My enter key keeps sticking and I keep adding all these extra lines - sorry!
