I got Bryce a few weeks ago, and have (i think) started to get a basic feel for it. I can't, however, think of a way to do a wheat field. Does anyone know if this might be possible? Using what techniques? Thanks, -j-

If you creat a wheat straw replicate it alot in the parts of the field thats closest to the camera, and then you could use a spiked terrain in the background for the rest of the field, if you use a depth of field effect it will be more realistic and no body would notice the fake. -m-

Or you could run it all in the terrain editor. Make a really hi-res terrain, say 1024x1024 at least... Then spike it a bit, maybe paint-erode some areas for height differences. Then in the Material Lab, create the first channel for colors and the second color run a slope or hieght-based transparency, click it to fuzzy perhaps, but if you mess with this you can produce fairly convincing wheat, or any other plant for that matter...! Although it won't have the geomtric detail of the other technique, perhaps use both and I'll bet it will look awesome!
