Okay, now I'm starting to get very nervous about the Comfy Chair. What are those arm & leg restraints for? And how about that headpiece with the electrodes sticking out of it?

Seriously, though, thanks to all for the warm welcome. I've been using Bryce since the very first version for the pc came out in 1997 (Bryce 2) & have been posting my images on Renderosity since 2003. I do check into the Bryce Forum regularly to see what's going on, though I haven't posted comments very often. I'm guessing that will change now.

Though I love Bryce & am very comfortable with it after all these years, I am by no means an expert & there are entire areas I haven't explored at all (like HDRI, animation, the tree lab, etc.). But I will try to be as helpful as I can about those areas I am familiar with. And I look forward to getting to know all of you a little better & contributing my little share in maintaining this community as a place where creativity & good cheer can thrive...
