I'm asking for help here because I currently have a massive project on hand and I need to render in Bryce some key scenes for a project I'm calling "The Prometheus Project"

This is the story of Prometheus stealing fire from the gods to give to humans - with a twist.

For it I need 5 or 6 scenes:

1. Nero's Rome
2. Medieval London - The Great Fire of London
3. London during the WW2 Blitz
4. Bush fire in the Australian Bush
5. and possibly something to do with the Matrix (not so sure of this one)
6. A Dark World in a Starry Sky

Now I've already asked over in the Wings3D forum for help with the architecture, for London and Rome - looking at a simple street scene for each, so if anyone here can help with that, great.
But I also need help with the Australian outback scene, for that I was thinking landscape, red rocks, sandy land, scrub, dry looking trees, and grass, dry and tall grass.

But grass is notoriously difficult in Bryce because of the huge polys... isn't it?  Would such a scene be possible do you think?

Must be quick to create too, cos we only have a few weeks for this project and I need these backgrounds as soon as possible, to put together with the green-screened animation - which someone else is doing (I hope) right now.

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
