I am trying to figure out how everybody makes those smooth looking boulders. Everytime I make one, it come out with sharp edges and looks bad. I have tried editing the polygon count, but everytime I hit the check mark, it stays the same. How do I get smooth boulders?

Are you talking about stones on Bryce? Just keep creating and deleteing until you get one the shape you want.

Been there done that....any other suggestions?

Don't know....on the third try for me I got a perfectly smooth skipping stone.

Make them from a couple of metaballs in a group if you have Bryce5

I did move the slider, and then checked the ok symbol, but it didn't change a thing.

Move the slider up, then click on the smooth sphere and it should give you a two pas smoothing indicator. Then press "check".

I just played around with a few metaballs, and found out that they do look better than the stones Bryce creates. Thanks to everyone who responded.
