Melanie, look at the Bryce forum messages I posted with screenshots of the pic library. Its really not bad for transmaps. It sounds a lot harder than it is S. Once you do one transmap, then you've got it made. Also--check out Spike's good tutorial on tranmaps on his site http://www.mindspring.com/~zonefive/ Having the ability to use transmaps in Bryce extends it so much--plus being able to mix/match textures AND transmaps means you can try different things, adjust diffusion, ambience, etc.--and get totally different looks. Try it, you'll like it smile--as some dumb ad used to say. Diane B
