Here's a great way to create waves for a water terrain (advanced knowledge of Bryce required!): 1-) Head into the Deep Texture Editor. 2-) In channel 1, use the Waves noise in 2D. Add a couple octaves to it. 3-) Copy it into channel 2, rotate it a bit, set the blend mode to Add. 4-) use a low-contrast Clip filter on each channel to keep everything from clipping (don't want flat wave crests!) 5-) There's a special key combination you can use (I think you can option/alt-click on the texture preview) to rip the texture preview to the whole screen, much like the Terrain Editor Room's "RIP to screen" menu choice. 6-) Take a screenshot, and voila, instant waves terrain! I can't remember the key combo offhand, but you can find it in Real World Bryce 4 (which all serious Brycers should get!!!) -flick
