Hi everyone sorry to bother but I'v attempted to work through this utorial(http://www.bryceworks.com/tutorial/vmodels/vmod1.html) to no avail. The image i end up with is no where near what the tutorial has. I'm having 3 problems that I can identify. 1. on the above page it shows a camera view with a "top" and "side" view. For the life of me I cannot find that view. Nor have I been able to make the top and right or left views match those. 2.It says create an Omni Light Duh whats an omni light ? I created the other light paramerters called for but is that an omni light ? 3. On the same page it shows a drop down menu with flat, full, basic and light sensative shading. The drop down I find does not include the "Basic shading" which of course is what is supposed to be used. ????? I really appreciated the help on my last question. I will appreciate any help with this one. Maybe I missed a camera tutorial and a light tutorial ? If so could some one guide me to those.

Ok, I'm not the greatest in bryce.. but I can give a stab at these ones.. 1) .. in the "main work" area, when creating a new primitive or whatever..off on the left you have the 'select views' control area.. just under that and to the right a little is a small triangle.. click on it.. and you should see the Top / Right / Left options. 2) Omni light ? well, looks like a simple Radial light to me, but perhaps there is someone more in 'the know' on this one. 3) As it says in the tutorial, fist you have to switch to Volume.. when you first go into the M.E., it's set to surface.. green button with a planet inside .. near the upper left.. click on that.. then to the right, where the textures will be listed.. there is again a Triangle .. basic shading should now be there. I have tried to keep the following as small as possible.. but hope it helps locate the options you're looking for.
