If anyone can help... I have created my own textures in Photoshop, saved them as various files...everything from jpg to bmp and when I go into Bryce, under edit, where all the different texture libraries are, I try to import these files and Bryce won't even highlight them as choices. What must I do to be able to start using the textures I made? Your help is appreciated. And if it is necessary to know, I am on a Macintosh computer. Thanks!

oh. That may be a problem for me..I'm not. There is a way of converting jpg or photo textures into the .mat format (Which is where you will see them, once created), using the DTE (Deep Texture Editor, also known as the Deeply Technical Endeavor..;) More coherent answers will follow this.

This is one tutorial for getting image based textures in Bryce. It's not a mac based tutorial though so I'm not sure if there's a specific Mac problem with image textures? Hope it helps anyway.

I'm on a mac and it works the same way as on a PC. For importing images into materials on any object this is the button you press: 
and then click a blank space, find your file and click OK. Jpeg, gif, pict, and tif should all work fine. Are you on OSX?

MADMAX: you're the best! Thank you so much! You would not believe how many books, forums and emails I have sent to try and get this answer. Thanks to you, I was able to make it work finally. And to answer your question, yes, I am on Mac OS 10.3.1. Although it didn't look as well as I would have hoped, that's ok...it's just a matter of tweeking now. Thanks again! Linda

Apart from textures, you can use Photoshop also as an excellent terrain modeller. The enclosed link describes how I have been working for the past 5 years :-)
