Well, I found a great way to make neat textures...only problem is that when exporting them from bryte the *.mat file is around 40MB. Anyone know a way to go around this, that is; make them smaller? ...zipping, raring dosent really help much ;)

I'm assuming you're working with image textures here, if not then there's not much you can do. There are a few things you can do with image-based textures: Firstly, you could put a placeholder image instead of the real texture in the mat files, and distribute the original image with them. The placeholder would just be a small file saying (for example) "PUT blah1.jpg HERE". The second way is to reduce the resolution of the image files that you are using before putting them into Bryce.

Yeah Imaged based textures. I thought of adding a tut to what pic where, but placeholder image's are perfect, thanx Mahray! :)
