How can i simulate a lightning in Bryce? A neon Effect? I can do it with Photoshop but I want to know if it's posible in Bryce. Thanks

There are two simple ways that I know of... tut.jpg First You could select an object that you want to have a neon effect on, click on the "m" to go to the Materials Lab. Here make the object's Diffusion and Abience the same color, and set both to 100. Now you have a neon object. Second You could also set the object to "Additive" which would give it a neon look, but it is also a bit transparent, which didn't help me much when I made my neon clock (in the bryce free stuff section just incase you want to check it out). Good luck! Adam

I've got a tutorial written for this, but I'm still searching for a new ISP so my site is offline. I put the tutorial pages ONLY on an edu server at work until I get my site up at it's own server. Links do not work on these pages. This is in two parts. Photoshop makes the map, but you could probably use another image editing app... Once you have the map, all work is in Bryce. No post production required. Part I: Photoshop http://www.usm.maine.edu/~scottk/alternate/plight.html Part II: Bryce http://www.usm.maine.edu/~scottk/alternate/blight.html Hope this helps. -ScottK

WOW! Oops. I thought you wanted a lighting effect instead of lightning effect. Sorry about that. I hope it helps anyway.
