Quote - That metaball hump is present on all bryce generated trees as far as I know.  I don't know of anyway to generate a tree trunk without it being there. 

Bummer!  Hopefully, Bryce 7 will have it beat.  I noticed it before I even started using Bryce.  It's not (that I have noticed) in any other modeling programs.  Problem is, I LOVE Bryce!  Don't want to use any other programs.

Thanks much for the quick answer!

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...'
