Hey there ya'll. :o) I'm finally actually getting to work on Bryce again and I need some help. I'm having a problem that's giving me fits. I am trying to orient text on an object and I need it upside down. I can get it to do that, but it's still reading left to right, not right to left as it would if you were looking at text upside down. I've created my text as a photo image with a mask, have it applied using object space and it works fine in every way except for the upside down part. Does anyone know a trick to this, short of creating the photo image that way? Susan

Sounds like you may have flipped it in on the x-axis. I wonder if flipping it on the z-axis would work?

Sue the text in the above image was done with a program called Elefont, imported into bryce then placed how and where i wanted it. Problem with it though is you can only use textures that you have in bryce. Thing i like about Elefont is it uses what ever fonts you have on your computer.

Here's what I've got. The 'arrows' show which direction is the top of my object. The red ball is fine. The blue ball is the one I need the text to appear upside-down. I've tried fiddling with the orientation of the texture (the photo) and can get it centered and angled just fine. I can get the text upside-down, but not backwards...it still reads left to right.

Why don't you just copy red one, and paste it, change diffuse to blue and rotate it in desired position? :D

Just a tought... :) Silly one, I know...

You are too funny, Bryster. :oD Actually Kemal, it worked on my example, but not on my real objects. Might be the types...they weren't primitives like my examples. However, that's changing as I speak. ;o)

What I usualy do is: I make a copy of given texture and name it differently, and instead flipping(or rotating) it in Bryce I do it in PaintShopPro, much easier, lol(@ Bryster) ! :D
