That's another great book, with some great lessons it it that are just as applicable to Bryce as they are to other 3D applications. Another good book in that series is "Digital Texturing and Painting". It totally changed the way I approach texturing models. It's amazing how differently I look at the world now bevause of that book, seeking out strange and beautiful surfaces to recreate. Those two books really cemented in me the idea that taking control of your lighting and texturing is the first step in mastering your 3D art. Some people focus on the models, but even the most basic of models can be made to look interesting if it is textured and lit in an interesting way. -Otis
