Over a month late on commenting on this, but hey, I'm still catching up with forum posts.

I've done this a LOT (Photoshop lettering to Bryce Terrain), and the absolute best way (if you are going to use Photoshop) is to make a new, grayscale 16-bit image in Photoshop and go from there with your text.

I always stick to documents that are sized to the power of two, meaning; 512, 1024, 2048, 4096. It used to be Bryce HAD to have this size or it would resize it for you, so you weren't getting the EXACT pixels. Meaning...if you imported a 4000x4000 image into Bryce, it would enlarge it by 96 pixels on each side, thus changing your text edges (slightly but, still)

Each font is different, but with 2048 images, I gaussian blur by 1, maybe 2 pixels. And 4096 images by 2 or 3 pixels.

The above example is 2048x2048, with a gaussian blur of 1 pixel.

• Note 1 - There is nothing you can do about the giant bounding box. I just swing the camera under the infinite plane, and adjust the terrain until a liitle bit of its bottom is sticking through the pane.

• Note 2 - Yes, Photoshops Gaussian Blur is much better than the blur option in Bryce's Terrain Editor. Use Photoshop to blur. Also, when using text in Photoshop there is an Anti-Aliasing option right next to the font size box (near the top of the gui), always set it to Smooth.
