In the attached pic, which I will put in the gallery if I ever stop fussing with it, the drapes are heavily mutated Poser hair. Poser hair makes great drapey stuff. Maybe this is something everyone knows about, but I thought I would pass it on just in case it is a new idea. Peej

Well...ya learn something new every day. That's a new one on me, but very creative and elegant. Thanks for sharing. Gorgeous image by the way. I've always used terrain files and/or symetrical lattices heavily eroded to get a similar effect, but it usually involves lots of post render work in Photoshop.

Alright bub I really think we need an explanation or tutorial and I will even say PLEASE! This is really cool and I have been looking for a way to get more realistic drapery. Thanks

What hair did you use for this? It doesn't even look like a hair object. More information, please. Melanie

It is female hair 5, I think. How to do it: Find the geometry file in the Poser runtime folder. Copy it somewhere (just to be on the safe side) and import it into Bryce. Stretch it along the Y axis and texture it with something basic to get an idea of what it can look like. Then comes the fun part, which is more art than science: fiddle with it. Stretch, resize, flatten, rotate, whatever. Experiment. Union one or more together. Snip off rough edges with a boolean. Texture with something like a jaunty parametric plaid (texture will need to be rotated), and there you are. Also makes cool waterfalls.

By "Geometry file" in my message above, I mean the .obj file.

Excellent! And the waterfall idea is great. I've always wished Bryce had a waterfall preset. This will work just as well for now. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for enlightening us, Peej! Melanie
