How do I get my Sky textures to work in bryce , Is there a special program need to make the bsk files?

Yep. Bryce. :-) (Open Sky Lab, click on the triangle on the upper right corner of the sky picture, click Add.) If you're talking about a sky photo, no you cannot. But you can put a (semi-) transparent lattice from the photo perpendicular to ground and apply the photo as the texture. NO bump. Or go visit Roobol's photo sky tutorial. http://users.pandora.be/roobol/tutorials/framestutorials.html It's number 5.

Uh... You could create one of those infinite plane objects and use your pic for the material. Dunno if that's the effect you're going after, but it never hurts to try. Hmmm... L8R!

Aye, it's easy to composite sky photos into Bryce, that's what people have been doing all along in lesser programs, like 3DS and Lightwave (although now they have their own skymakers) Simply go to the Create Palette, and create a 2d face (square), and put it behind the scene, far away. Then stretch it to fill the sky in the scene, and THEN go into the Material Lab and tweak the ambience/diffusion and transparency, if you want. The only problem is that in reflections, such as in water, you might see the square edges of your object. Hi-res photos work best, or if you make a panorama you can always map it on the inside of a sphere object. Takes some practice, though!

Please don't use the word combination 'Stupid question'. Stupid questions don't exist. :)

Thanks Ray, that is exactly what I was going to add.:) I am learning from all of the questions asked in this forum too, as are many people....there IS NO SUCH THING!:) And mqshocker, thanks for asking, some of the answers here have given me ideas to try out!

No, silly people, there is ONE stupid question. "How do I export Bryce objects?" (smirks)

Even that one isn't stupid.

The only stupid question that exists in this world is: "How do I ask a question?"
