Hmmmm, no response from Drac.   Maybe he bit off more than he can chew or the moon has been full too long.

I will be ready in about another week to post something.

If Drac doesn't respond, does that mean I win and will be getting everyone's babies?

I resorted to Wings3d to build a wave.  I've been trying out some different stuff in Bryce and am leaning toward multiple renders and layering them in 2d app to get desired effects.
