Some one wanted export to work on b5 terrain maps...specifically metioning kpt gel...I completely spaced it in the post until the plugins thread. Ya know in the terrain editor you can load your 2d plugins folder under the filter tab's little arrow. You have to readd the folder every time you add a new plugin. If you have kpt gel then it will show and you a can use it on you terrain map. I feel silly for not posting it before. B4 came with some old kpt plugins, but you have to provide your own for b5.

I also heard someone say the local Photoshop plug-in wouldn't work in Bryce. Not totally true, most of the effects in the photoshop filter folder will work.

When I pointed to my photoshop plug-in folder, all plug-ins were listed and a bunch made Bryce crash. So I created a new folder on my hard drive and copied all the filters I installed to photoshop
to it, and the photoshop filter folder.
Now my Bryce filter folder looks like this.

Any filters that Bryce has problems with either
gives a message to select an area, or that the filter
can't be used in Bryce, and it will remove it from the list.
Anyway none made it crash anymore.

Here's a couple of other things I just learned
in the TE.
hold down the Ctrl & Alt keys while clicking on
the picture button ( elevation tools ) to enter
the DTE, and use a procedural texture to create the terrain.

or the Ctrl & space bar keys while clicking on
the picture button ( elevation tools ) to enter
the picture editor.

wow I am glad I put yes to e-mails on this forum I am very thankful for this info....

hi, can u buy kpt gel alone or do you need to buy the hole bundle? thanks

Imamik go to Corel.com, they sell the kpts. As soon as i have time I'll post my canyon pic. I made the terrain with kpt gel in b5. It worked just fine. I install my plugins in a separate folder so they don't mix with the adobe natives. Those are the ones I link to in bryce.

If you have the CD version of KPT 5, you have all the kpt3 series too, their in a folder on the CD, just browse the CD. Meta creations used to sell KPT filters separately, for about 20 or 25 $ a filter, but I don't think Coral does. Has anybody tried Coral's Premiere, I'm wondering what they have to offer, cause they sure don't tell you much at the website.
