I tried to do an image like the one on the cover of the bryce4 manual. You know the one of the snow covered mountains. How the heck did the artist get such natural looking mountains? All the mountains in Bryce are all pointy or just not natural at all. I tried playing with the terrain editor and even trying to create a mountain from nothing but I can't seem to get natural looking mountains. Does anyone out there have any tips? And bye the way..how is Bryce5? Is it worth the bucks? thanks

Not an expert here, but if you raise the resolution in the terrain editor, to something like massive resolution that will help. And also by playing with the textures a lot in the materials lab will help alot. For example you pick a material then go into the material editor and click the blue dot above the T and enter the editor and adjust the scaling .

Sorry bout the size folks. Just formatted and installed XP, and havn't installed Photoshop so I just pasted the images in Paint and couldn't find an option to resize it in there. Off to install Photoshop now....

I almost always use the fractal settings to get good looking mountians. Ridged multifractal and warped ridges are personal favorites...1024 resolution certianly helps.
