Maybe adding something to the horizon or putting something in the middle, water looks muddy, a clear water would look great, the Materials on the mountains are too plain, maybe need to be tweaked a bit or get some under the free stuff on this site. Try looking for a temple, then use both towers to surround the temple or building. That's about it...everything is fine, sky is no big deal!! Great start!:-) Sorry for the critisicm...but I bet it will improve your image! Art

6.0 is probably my favorite photoshop yet, I havent got the chance of trying 7.0 version, but I'm very happy with 6.0.

Not bad for a first picture....keep working on it!!! If you have a Photo editing program like Photoimapct, Painter, or Photoshop, you can give the pictures more life!. Hope to see more of your work in the future...Good Luck!!:-) Art

Try using the "Light LAB" in Bryce 5. Use the Cone shape and put it in front of each headlight. Just tweak the light settings for a better result.

Yeah, it's virtually Invisible, just pointed up there and the menu should pop up!!!

Go to "Edit" then open the mats library, then click "Import" button on the bottom of the menu, once you open, find the folder, "Materials", then "User"(Make sure it is "User" folder, it wont work if it's the "Installed" folder) and then find the Mat file and open, then it should automatically load into your library with a small thumbnail preview!!!:-) (Same Goes for Sky's and Object Files that are .obp, in their individual respective folders as "User") Hope this Helps Art

ummmmm......maybe Midnight headache, Tragedy on Mercedes, well they are stupid!,Kinda hard to come up with a name for that picture. Cool Image!!!:-)

Well, I'm a newbie to Vue 4(3days ago), but more expirinced on Bryce 5, I guess we render images that appeal to our style, some pictures are more appealing than other's and that's why some memebers rank and comment on the various styles. So far I havent gotten any comments on any of my 3 first pics, but that doesnt make me feel bad, I actually see it as challenge, a motivation at getting better at it. I certainly think all Images are Great, but some deserve some comments or ranking for their hard work and artistic effort, we must exploit new ideas and techniques to stay on top. Keep posting and dont let it discourage you, I have had many obstacles on the way, like bad comments on my pictures, but I noticed that I have gotten better and slowly evolving into a better artist. Good Idea that you brought this to everyone's attention!!!! Good Luck....BTW Great Artwork!:-) Art

Thanks alot for the welcome and thanks again Guys, you sure are Great Helpers!!!!:-)

I Guess this Dicussion is a 2 sided battle. If you are a big Animation artist, then it is a big deal, but for those of us who use Bryce for Landscape Making it's a great Program, and yes, Bryce needs to improve, but it will evolve slowly, dont expect to have the most perfect program over night.(and Boycotting would not be a good Idea, Corel Makes great software) Art

Yeah, they should remove that Road Freebie, it's just a Bait n Switch Tactic...lol, but really, it's annoying!!!!

Mine is: 1.Faster Render Engine! 2.Easier to use Tree Lab 3.Realistic Stars and Comets and Galaxies. 4.A Terrain Editor compatible with Photosohop or Painter. 5.A Sun and Moon Lab. 6.Texture Maker 7.Below $500. :-), Well that's Mine, I guess we all have a little bit of something. My DREAM BRYCE 6!!!!!

Looks Awesome, Very Realistic!!!!

Usually the main problems in photoshop is when you move stuff on the directory folders, if you move files that are needed, then photoshop will look for them, but wont find them, and that's the main reason why it crashes usually!!!

Thanks :-) that helped!!
