Some help with this please... 1. how do you make a Bryce tree trunk 'invisible' without loosing the branches too?

2. How do you get the shadows to be gradient under an object, i.e., the urn is deeply ribbed but the shadow color is constant even in the deep portion of the ribbing?

3.On models, like the balustrade, do I need to ungroup everything to get a consistant texture on different shapes (the spindles, caps and rail)I tried all the different mapping options and there was always one thing that looked weird, so far this is mapped 'random' and the spindles look kinda strange...

4.I've been modeling garden urns, all types and sizes, and different kinds of balustrades, would anyone be interested if I put them up in freestuff? In the marketplace?

5. Any suggestions on improving the wip in general are also appreciated, I still have to add some stuff to it, (I finally managed to get the mist right)...
