My turn to blush, Jimi! Thank you so much for your kind words. Like you, I'm a beginner with all 3D art. I've done as well as I have in Bryce up to this point only because of a terrific on-line beginner's class that I finished last month. Right now I'm taking an on-line beginner's PSP7 class. I used to be able to teach myself just about any application I wanted to learn, but I really felt the need for classes this time around. OK. If I can squeeze out the time, I'll definitely work on an image for the competition. Foleypro's effects do look like fun to work with. And it's not as though I don't have almost a whole month. Thanks for the encouragement!
