Yeah had Bryce since forever and still don't know what I'm doing -.- does anyone know if/how to make two or more moons and suns in one picture? If this is possible can some one please explain it to me ^^; Thanks.

Hmmm, I don't think it is possible to put more than one default moon or sun into a scene, Im'e sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. To get more than one moon you could always wrap a moon picture texture on a sphere but not sure how you would go about adding more than one sun (probably best added in post perhaps)

There is a glwoing MAT in the defaults under complex effects I think that looks pretty good as a sun if you change it from its default green to yellow and place it on a sphere.

your best bet is to fake that, actually. depending on your scene, set up two lights to illuminate it from different angles, and make the suns in Photoshop. Bryce doesn't have more than one Sun, unfortunately, so your only solution would be to fake it. Either like I've just told you or by adding another light high up at the end of nowhere and making it visible... either way. In terms of moons all you need is to make a sphere with the texture, set it high up, and add fuzzy factor, distance, altitude blur, in the object material propreties (down pointing triangle in the top right-middle). Cheers. Drac

Or.. =P you can always pull the wool over bryce's head. So long as your second moon that you render is not on the horizon or through some trees this will work. Render the scene with one moon, then move the moon again to where you want it, spray render that area and poof, instant second moon. Given this works best if they are not so far apart..

Thats a good idea Ornlu, never thought of that. In the same vain you could also probably create another scene file with another moon in it and then merge the two.
