Warning- total Bryce newbie and idiot posting ;) I have read the manual a few times, but am still not grasping the lighting concept(ok so i don't wrap any of the concepts ;P). What i am trying to do here is set up a night scene. Things i cant seem to fix : -i cant make waves lapping on the rocks, nor can i make movement waves in the water -i cant get any stars to show up - the only way i can get a moon to show up is a huge one like in the image -how can i darken the atmosphere while still being able to have subtle lighting on my chars so they are not just black silohuettes? Thx!

well i have no clue how you did that. i can't reproduce it

and i tried...

a few times with no sucess

Keep practicing, though. So far I like what you've posted here. It takes trial and error. Plus, there are some good tutorials here you can play with and www.brycetech.com is a fantastic site to try as well.

ok thx! ( can't use the sky- i am in br4) but this shows me a LOT! thx! going to save out the dragons and then restart the picture-this is built totally different than mine is- which may be why i cant get the water etc right...) THX! :D

well i didn't redo the water yet, was still trying to get it to look like night. this is what i have so far after 3 days of work ;p I can't tell anymore if i am getting anywhere. What do i need to fix? THX!

it looks good to me! it looks dark like you said you wanted. i like it! miker
