I want to import my own background/backdrop into bryce and then build over it. Is this possible? If it is could someone please explain the proceedure?
ThanX!

Is there water in your future or is
it being shipped away to be resold to you?

You could create a cube, stretch it to the width of the screen and apply a .jpg to it as your background.

wouldn't a flat plane do too?

Not sure. I can try. I have never applied a texture that wasn't already created, like terrains and such. Do I import it in the materials section? Do I have to create it as a alpha like the rose I did?
Would someone mind telling me the import process?
I am installing PP2012 at this moment, but I can make time to do this tomorrow.
Thank you all...
HugZ!

When I import a picture that I want applied to an object, a cube let's say... I always have the picture applied to "top of object" and then maneuver the objects top into the workspace as I want it to be viewed... That way seemed easier to me with little manipulation, than applying the picture to a side or any of the other possible ways of applying the picture. Once in your scene... you might want to turn off "receiving shadows" so objects in the scene don't affect the "background" on the cube..

This topic reminds me of something called Simply 3D from Micrografx which I think Corel bought back in the day. It had a feature where you could simply load an image and it would become the backdrop and would reflect into objects.

I still have that program on my HD and from time to time when I need to use an object that I can't find anywhere, I will export it from there as VRML and then into 3D Max to export it out as either 3DS or OBJ... Crude but effective! Really which I could use it in Win 7.

Simply 3D was a joy to use and it made me realise that it would be possible to work with 3D on my computer compared to 3d Max (DOS Version)
My first render was a brick room I built and in the corner was 3 types of spheres, glass, metal and plastic, it looked amazing at that time.
I just realised that my first render was not a Sphere over Water :)

No... but 3 spheres in a corner over dried water, eh????
