Does anyone know how to make wires in bryce? I know it would be easier to model them in max or any other program, but i was wondering if it was possible in bryce.

Here are a couple ideas off the top of my head: 1. Use a series of closely placed metaballs and place them in the shape of the wire. This will take a LOT of metaballs. 2. Create a symmetrical lattice and paint the shape of the wire in the terrain editor (or import it from a 2D image editor). That's all i've got. Good luck.

Could you be more specific? . . .a single wire. . .telephone wire. . .several wires. etc.?

Thanks for the ideas. I was thinking more in the direction of wires you see in sci-fi images or abandoned places.

You see all kinds of wires in abandoned places. :-) Multireplication along a path. check ... "Assassin" in my gallery. The gun cable is multireplicated spheres. Then check the forum for Aldaron and multireplication.
