I am trying to create a curved tree trunk. I am fairly new to bryce and I don't know if I can do this in the tree lab. What I am trying to do is have the tree trunk in the foreground of my picture and have the trunk curve off the side of the picture. How can I do this? Thanks J

b5 has metaballs, which create many new options....

You might also want to try modelling the trunk in a different application, and then import into Bryce. Amapi has a bend tool that will allow you to distort the trunk in the way you wish. Amorphium will also allow that kind of manipulation. Both have been given away on cover disks of 3D magazines, so shouldn't be too hard to find Failing that you could model the whole thing in Blender, which can be downloaded free. Follow the link for lots of goodies

you could also try using a symetrical lattice
