I need an Oscar statuette for my next image. The only one I can find is here in Renderosity freestuff, but the problem is that this one is a Strata file, and I can't open it or use it in Bryce. If anyone knows where I can find an Oscar, I'd be happy to know about it!

Here's a pic of the one I made you, Ek.

By the way, in case anyone's interested, I made the figure by altitude maps in Bryce using poser figure. Then I put the maps on terrains. The base I made in Wings.

You're my hero!! I'm truly amazed and honored that you actually took time and effort to do this for me :) I can't believe the helpfulness I've met here during my 6 or 7 months here... Thank you so much! I hope I can do it justice..

Yeah, ya gotta love the guy! Wow, tjohn, I was feeling pretty smug about some success I've had lately using altitude renders, but you've blown my admittedly small mind with this one. Looks fabulous!

Ang: I laid the poser figure on its back on the ground plane, and did a altitude mask render in the top view. Then rotated it 180 degress to get the other side. Then loaded the images from those two renders one at a time onto terrains into the terrain editor, smoothed a few times and painted out the ears. I had to manipulate the height and other proportions relative to the two terrains for a best fit of the two parts. (They're still not a perfect fit. But as long as you don't aim the camera directly from the side, it looks OK). Bryce is very versatile, and can do a lot of things you won't find in any manual. :^) Der Bryster: Whatever your doctor has you on, cut the dose, Dude. Or don't...different strokes, LOL.

OhMyGosh, I didn't want an Oscar lol. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I have my daughter next to me also not feeling well. :( Everybody is getting sick. Hope you feel better soon and send me whatever meds you're taking when you're done being sick. Thanks Tjohn, I will have to try that technique. I think that the most critical part for me is knowing how to "Do" the altitude mask. Thats one of those button on the left side in bryce right?
