Sorry to divert this subject - or maybe it ISN'T a diversion? But I'd like to know what type of thing you'd use just texture A for or just B or just any of them... PLUS - what you'd use: A+B A+C A+D - or: A+B+C A+B+C+D Or A+C+D or C+D or any other combination thereof? In otherwords what is the significance of ABCD? And if it doesn't really matter which ONE you use - then what makes the difference of using various combinations or ABCD etc. I mean, is there one thing you'd use just A for? and what about using AC&D? For instance is the one sort of material that needs a particular combination? and another that needs a DIFFERENT combination? I already understand about using one channel or slot or whatever for bump and one for diffuse and/or ambient, but perhaps you could include the explanation of bump etc too, to keep things in perspective - also that would be helpful for people new to Bryce. And what about other things? Reflection, specular, refraction? Volume? Transparency? Etc... P.S. Could you try not to stick all the images together in one lump? - makes it hellish to copy the info. I have to go through PhotoShop and cut everything up again just to be able to see it. One image per message is MUCH better for me.
