Recently I had to reinstall Bryce. Luckily, I had most of the presets, skies, etc, saved and could resupply the program but I can't identify  the specific location to put my HDRI folder with the files so Bryce would recognize it.
This may be a dumb question, but can someone take pity on an old fart and enlighten me where I need to put it ...uh, locate it?

 HDRI repost,
I had Bryce 6.1 but because of the 'out of memory thing' and the import to black material settings problem, I decided to go back to version 6.0. Just incase the version was important. 

Program Files/Bryce/Prisets.......than chose right folder

I keep all my HDRI's in a completely separate folder so I can find them to use in Carrara as well as Bryce.

If you know one file name...search/tipe name of the file.....

The black material thumbnail/preview square thing is a problem with having too many presets in one catagory if memory serves. Thinning them out a bit should help.

Thanks to all for the responses.

So I don't have to put the HDRI's into, say, the 'content'  folder in the Bryce root directory, then? I can leave it out of the root directory all together? Correct?
I was mainly curious if Bryce had a required specific location that HDRI's had to be for it to find them.

Bryster,
the black materials I was referring to is the black materials on the object due to the lack of materials coming in with the object  when imported from anpther program, not the black place holders in the material library.

When I convert , say, a lightwave mesh to a format that Bryce will import, sometimes the mtl file doesn't translate into Bryce and all the materials end up being black on import. That very rarely - if  ever happened to them in earlier Bryce versions prior to 6.1.So I decided to go back from 6.1 to 6.0 and now I don't seem to have that problem.

Thanks again for you responses!

I keep my hdri files in a completely separate folder on my desktop..and just browse to them when I want. ..so I would say there isn't any specific place to keep them.....just wherever you won't lose them.   :biggrin:

yep, as above I have separate folder outside of bryce for hdri probes.

Thanks all, advice taken.
