To make foregrounds I go into another program other than bryce ... just kidding.

Actually, what I use is the fractal terrain generating stuff in the terrain editor.

Quick method - select the terrain that you've put in the foreground, hit the e button when you've got the terrain selected to get into the terrain editor, then up the resolution of the terrain to about 2000x2000 ish. Then I choose one of the fractal terrain generator things (often the ridges one I think) and use that to make my nice rough looking terrain, remembering that in my bryce scene, the terrain is large in area but not very tall - that way the ridges or whatever the fractal thing makes will be like flatter uneven and rough ground.

Sometimes you may have to use the terrain editor to "smooth" out any undesirable stuff in your terrain or add any gulleys or larger ridges that you want, but essentially thats it - i.e. high res terrain, with a fractally generated terrain.

Hope that helps in some way.
