Purist = Puritan A pox on both yer houses. "I suggest 100% Bryce only. No imports of any kind. Afterall, it is a Bryce contest, right? Show the true power of Bryce!" UM, the power of Bryce also includes importing models including those made by someone else. The power of Bryce also includes importing textures. Why put those capabilities into the program otherwise. IF BRYCE RENDERS IT, IT IS BRYCE. "Some may just "get by" in Bryce, yet be gods in Photoshop. so they could take that halfazz Bryce scene, import it into Photoshop and make it a "winner"." I have news for you, NO postwork will turn a halfazz Bryce scene into a winner. It will just be a halfazz scene with postwork. And, um, if someone imports Vicky that does not make it a winner. How many pictures of Vicky have you seen that are cr*p? I rest my case There is no such thing as an 'unfair advantage' because any two people with the same resources will come up with something totally different. The dragon and horse up there are magnificent and VERY VERY impressive. But can they be incorporated into an equally impressive scene?
