Looking much improved! Yes, you can paint on the terrain (kinda clunky and a pretty steep learning curve for me). But you'll need to spend some time with the manual and go through the tutorials in it for the Terrain Editor, so you'll understand how it works (essential!). The very best advice, RTM (read the manual) or RTFM for those like me who only read the manual when all else fails. :^) Second best advice: get a copy of Susan Kitchens' Real World Bryce 4. It's actually better than the manual, but you have to purchase it, and you should already have the manual.
