Ok, I need some help from the experts on this. I have been working on creating a waterfall in Bryce. All my attempts have been in vain, and rather ugly to look at too. Does anyone have a good way of making them. Also, I have now imported 1 poser figure into Bryce. But I had to do as a 2D image. Is there a way to import it as a 3D image? Your help is appreciated.

Bryce can import OBJ files, so any Poser obj will do. You can export (as obj) most anything you do in Poser and then import into Bryce, so the sky's the limit. As for the waterfall, you set the bar kinda high. Waterfalls are tough, but I saw a tutorial somewhere. I'll check my archives and get back to you.

Thanks, MadRed. It's nice to know that I'm already setting my bar too high. :) Just getting started with this stuff and all I want to do is create the world, He he. I appreciate your kind response.

Just make a terrain that looks like the falls area without water and save it. Re-import same terrain into terrain editor and rework it over the area where the water is channeled and falls. Use the tools to pull up that section and smooth and groove to look like water. Bring the second water terrain into renderer and add water texture. Bring in first terrain and lay it over the water terrain (most features should line up) You are trying to push up just the water that shows as falls and conceal all water of terrain beneath. Just a slight explanation, not a full tutorial. ;)
