Great Image, ICM. Could I ask where you used the 2 photographic images reguired for the challenge. Was it the Trade Tower Wreckage and the Cityscape? The reason I'm asking is that I'm not that familiar with using photo images in bryce other than on a 2d object or cube. And I'm trying to get an idea of how they would be used otherwise. I've also tried using them on ground planes but they always turn out tiled, even if I scale them with the editor.

Crapola!! Only have one Guess I read it wrong,I'll have to add another. The CityScape is a model. On 9-11 I downloaded every image of New York and the trade towers I could get my hands on. Create either a lattice or terrain. Clear the screen in the editor, go to the picture tab and a load the image. I usually make a cut out of most images and remove All color saturation(making it grayscale). Using it for the lattice, then adding the material use the color version. You can also use the grayscale version for a bump map in the Material editor although its not always needed. After trying a few of those you get the hang of it. I Use 512 x512 or 1024 x 1024. Claymor made a really good one in the last Challenge.

Thanks ICM. Your explanation is a huge help. I think my son told me how to do it, but it didn't sink in. I printed this out so I'll have it on hand. Thanks again.
