Yeah, that is thanks to the 16-bit import trick. The letters are a terrain. That terrain is made in Photoshop as a 16-bit Grayscale image. It is saved out of Photoshop as a .tif, that .tif is turned into a .pgm with bikermouses utility he made for us, and in Bryce I go to File>Import, and it imports it as a 3d model, but in Bryce it works just like a terrain. ---------- Any ol' image in the terrain editor will equal 8-bit, which equals 255 levels of gray. 16-bit, Grayscale image have 65,535 levels of gray. (WAY smoother terrains/lattices) ---------- Normally, I might not go through so much for just text, but if its anything that will be rendered smooth, highly reflective, or as glass, I'll make the terrain as smooth as possible.
