Quote - Take for instance a greyscale map drawn in a 2d app. Does this not come under the importing from another app category?

No it doesn't, i'm talking about an character that has been created by Daz3D, or an object created in 3DS or OBJ. In fact anything that Bryce can already do with a little work. When I see the likes of TheBryster gradually building his train, and everything, or at least most has been modelled in Bryce, the use of external ready made objects, just doesn't constitute a 'Bryce' scene. Bryce is a very capable 3D modeller, and I think this should be learnt rather than just importing something ready made.

Quote - Just to take things on a tangent slightly, do you think we as a community need to provide more tutorials? I know there time consuming and most of us would rather be Brycing, but it can only help the community evolve. Terry has a great one explaining how to build nearly a whole Bryce scene. If we could all make a pledge to try and add a new tutorial at least once a year then that can only benefit us all. Maybe we could have a request thread as a sticky. If someone likes an aspect of a certain image then we could try and provide a tutorial on the techniques involved.
I think full tutorails would work better as many members don't actually visit the forum on a regular basis to pick up all the threads.
I you thinks it's a good idea then I'd be happy to start a new topic.

Great idea mate, and also, more WIP's with 'how it's achieved'.
