Hi neat image... however, if you'd like a critique perhaps I can help make it a bit better? as a matter of taste...I hate ambiance on textures. It makes everything look like its casting its own light and gives a "cartoonish" look overall. I'd personally turn the ambiance off on every texture... I'd also (for the final render) use soft shadows to make it look sooooo much more real and since we're on "shadows"...recently a question came up about this at the DAZ forum which I answered and may help you here. Notice in the photo you posted how there are different "levels" of shadow? for instance..the pot has a darker shadow cast from it because its a shadow of both the porch and the pot. To make this actually work in bryce is a minor texture change..but it'd need to be applied to every texture. Anyhow, if you make every model "0.01" transparent..it will in no way be "see thru" but bryce will interact with it differently and the resultant image will have "layered" shadows (see picture) if you have the computer power, ya may want to see if you can add some grass models (you can get them free at 3d cafe...used to be a www.3dplants.com...made by drew costigan) They add TONS to an image for final details. anyhow, I love the image. I like images where people are creating buildings with bryce models. :) have fun..and hope to see this when its completed (that is assuming you are still working on it). BT
