I read every evening this forum with much interest, especially help threads on textures, DTE, etc.. My problem is I have Susan Kitchen "Real World Bryce" but I have no prior training in computer graphics. I've muddled through first 400+ pages with varying degree of understanding but when I get to pg 407 "Mat Lab" it just goes beyond my knowledge base to quite make any sense of it. Is there any other source or tuts that can get me off first base. I've tried to read the section again as recently as two days ago and wind up just pushing buttons and moving sliders with no idea of what is happening. Help? Descriptions of components buttons, filter graphs, noise filters, etc mean little since this section presumes a knowledge of the fundamentals of pixal illumination. I know this question is too deep for a short answer but maybe someone can point to a good read or heck correspondence course. Tks for you patience
