An item just appeared in the free stuff section for Bryce - a nice looking road. Attempt to download, and the link takes you to a site that forces the browser to full screen whether you want it or not, and attempts to play Flash animations with sound without any way to navigate past them. A classic example of appalling user-unfriendly design. I gave up.

Huh. I saw that download when I went to get Peej's orange mat and was thinking of going back for it. Glad I didn't make the effort, given my lousy dialup connection. Thanks for the heads up!

yea I ran into that to. Couldn't help but give the people a message asking to put a link to the download, and not a tour of their flash abilities.

If you need a road, then check out Sams 3D outdoor freebies. They have curvy, straight, etc, just put them together and make your own. ArleenThere are a lot of things worse than dying, being afraid all the time would be one.

FastTraxx has a good two lane highway texture [or had] at Chemical Studios. Apply to flat cube primitive, stretch and add curbing. Instant street...
