If they aren't going to be close up perhaps you could just use a texture to get the desired affect?

I agree with the lightwave moderator because the whole point is to see what a program can do,how it can be used to it's full potential.In saying this you can't refuse a bryce scene with a poser figure just because of the figure.Just an example how the categories are somewhat irrelevant my latest bryce upload,created entirely in bryce could be 2d,mixed medium etc.You probably couldn't tell just by looking at it.

Thanks for all your feedback guys,the links and advice TOO I have no problem using bryce (not that I'm an expert) and realise anything is possible with it.My querie was regarding the gallery here and Phantast's comments resolved the issue.I agree about the fact you have to categorise in that way but I would think the program that had the biggest effect should count however I'd also have to agree with you AgentSmith on the final render issue and that's an impressive image you made.I realise with all the models etcetera available bryce can be turned into a very powerful 3d tool.=) The reason I brought this up is because i've just started using bryce 4.I used V1 when it first come out but haven't touched it in years.It's the only 3d tool i like using.Tried rds and 3ds but find them too technical.Much prefer my fine arts,using tactile things but I can handle bryce as far as digital art goes.Anyway i'll stop rambling now and just hope more people will explain how they made their images when they upload them.This would help a great deal for everyone to understand and learn...PEACE CT

That was basically my point AgentSmith.I'm not griping or anything but it would be good to see a gallery for images made almost,if not completely with Bryce as that's the only 3d program I use and it's a little disappointing when you have all these other amazing images that wouldn't be possible without 3ds,rds etc...overshadowing my crappy Bryce ones hehe
