Hi there thanks folks, thanks Jelisa... That definitely is a good way around it, but I'm really interested in using the 3d trees in bryce... :) I've used trees as alpha planes for years... What I do right now is create trees in Painter as 2d/3d forms, using the materials from digarts (some of which work with psp)... In that way, I can create any tree I want... But sometimes I like to use he 3d trees from Bryce, and so far, that bump in the middle is a problem.... For the 3D, one way around it, is by using metaballs to cover up the trunk and model it till it looks nice.. But this takes up too much time... I just figured maybe somebody had come up with a quick way to smoth out the bump... By the way Jelisa, you may want to check out the stuff from Digarts, I'm including a link for a tree I created with their materials in Painter...
