when i import a jpg file into bryce 5 when i render it don`t show

You are going to have to be a lot more specific with your question. As in, how are you "importing" your jpg. What are you applying it to, and how?? When you say it "don't show" what exactly do you mean?? Is it not showing up in the picture library? Not showing up as a material on your object??

Could be worse, could be raining.

If you're using "Import Image" then you are just loading it in view, replacing any rendered image. When you render, it is replaced by the rendering image. If you want to load an image for insertion into the scene, you have to apply it to an object. From the Create menu, pick the man shaped icon. This will take you to a loading screen. Load your jpeg image. Now it will be on a 2d object. If it is in front of the camera, it should now show up in your render. Hope this makes sense.

yes thank you

You can import .tif format things using the little man also. I do that all the time. Works great. You can use people created and rendered in Poser and saved as a .tif file also. Jungle 3D CD has lots of trees, flowers, etc. in .tif format that you import using the little gold man also. BJ http://www.bjshaven.com/

It's a great way to cut down on file size, render a few trees out to jpgs then render an alpha channel to use as a trans map, load into 2d planes for distant trees with a lot less polys.

I agree. There are lots of things you can bring in using the little gold man. They look good and render time is fast. BJ

This will help me alot , thank you.
