As a newbie to Bryce, I rely alot on free stuff until such a time when I can make my own. ;-) At least by importing these objects, , I can fill out my scene while learning about placement and bettering my mat lab and DTE skills as I tweak the textures of said freebies.

If any of you care to hear from a lowly n00b, this is the main reason I have never posted a render here. I feel extremely intimidated. So instead, I choose to mostly lurk, read the posts, and view the gallery and challenges. I do learn by viewing and trying to grasp how an artist created a particular effect. But I wish there was more room here for newbies. I'm not saying that all of you turn away newbies who truly aspire to learn. There are people here who do seem to enjoy passing on their knowledge. But it is hard for those of us who are trying to get up the courage to post an image in hopes of receiving helpful feedback.

And yes, I do know some newbies post their work here and have no problem doing so. But for me, after reading some of what I have here, it makes it difficult for me to do so.

I mean no offense to anyone by what I have said. I just thought maybe someone would be interested in hearing what it's like, lurking on the outside while looking in at all the incredible images you experienced types create.

Maybe one of these days I'll give it a go. I do know I could learn by what you have to say. But it is hard to do so, when you read some of what you posted above.
