Personally, I think Bryce deserves a tutorial section of its own here on Renderosity and not "off site" links! But that's just my two cents. :)

It's not just you - I noticed the same thing! I sure hope we get some Bryce tutorials here at Renderosity.

Wow - I have a lot to learn yet, but these tips are really going to help - thank you!

I have a long way to go before completing this project, but there's what I've got so far.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments and suggestions! I've started my online class and with a few exceptions (see below), it's going well. I'm finding that it helps to have some initial creative direction instead of sitting in front of a blank canvas and trying to come up with an idea. Anyway, I've run into a couple of issues that I'm hoping someone won't mind taking a moment to help me on:

1. I'm using Bryce 5 & when I have an object selected, I don't have an arrow icon on the column of controls to land it on the ground.

2. I'm sure this probably has to do with the camera views, but I had difficulty with placement of objects. Such as...when I wanted a tree or rock in front of the mountain, it kept going behind instead and wasn't visible.

Thanks bunches!

Cheers...
