Thanks for the tips. I didn't mean to say it wasint possible, I just don't know how. I have learned a lot in the past few days regarding textures and how it works. I will explore it even more once I finish my 3d ecosystem study scene. I have gotten to a point of very basic undertsnading of the funtion editor but im going to need to make myself some sort of cheat sheet to tell me what each node and funtion does so it sticks in my brain. otherwise whatever I do is a "Calculated fkup"

Unfortunatly I can not work on the above scene anymore because I never saved it. It was my first personal render and nothing I was extremly excited about. I see all of these addons out there but i think I want to get a better handle on the program before I dive into outside programs to learn.
