Thanks all for the info and warm welcome.  I'm more of a TrueSpace 6.6 user but I have been so impressed by all the images in your gallery I wanted to give Bryce a try. I bought ver 5.5 when it was on special a while ago and have just got around to using it.

Right now I'm doing a tutorial by Rudolf Herczog in 3D World #88. His screen caps looked a bit lower poly than what I was seeing on my screen so I thought perhaps I was missing something.

Thanks again, looking forward to meshing some of my TS models with Bryce landscapes. (Pun intended.)
