Um....I know I haven't been around lately, but where did you find the owl figure? I've checked the Free Stuff and nothing. Help?

Spike, I was looking around today for free web hosting and found some unlimited spaces on two sites. homepages.go.com and members.xoom.com There might be more I don't know. I do know that Renapd {Fairy Woods} has a site on Xoom, perhaps that is the way to go?

OK, I think I missed something, what technique was that?

What material did you use for the grass? It looks so real. I don't remeber a preset for that.

What do you mean "Blend Transparancy"? Is that a setting or a technique for when you make the map? Also let me see if I understand how a transparancy map and a texture work together. From what I understand the texture map is applied to the entire obj, then the transparancey map makes certain parts of that model "seethru", leaving the parts that are visible showing the texture? Correct? If that is the case, then where do you place the transparancy map in the Bryce material "dots", {ie columns A,B,C,D} Also Spike, I'm still trying to figure out how you made the makeup/powdery bump map for your skin in Bryce. I have tried making a bump map in Photoshop and using the noise filter at around 8, but when I apply it is looks more like a disease than skin. I have the bump height set to around 10 in Bryce.
