Hello all, I am new to bryce itself and has been so immersed in its fanastic ability of creating 2d to 3d images. I am having trouble on how to turn off the sunlight in this image that I created and also how to make windows and roof to make it look more realistic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. You may have notice that there are white square shaped above the couch, that is where I am trying to make windows in, and is not sure on how to make it look like a window. I am going to attach the image. Thanx!

To turn off the sun got to the skylab (accessable by clicking sky&fog then clicking the little cloud/rainbow) at the bttom right is a little button "disable sun". As for the windows, make the wall positive by going into attributes then make the cubes that will cut out the windows negative and group the wall and cubes...instant windows. Then you can add frames and glass, etc.

Or if that doesn't work, go to the lab, turn ambiance, sky dome and sunlight to black. If that does't work for you, put a large box object around your work area and move the camera inside, then use lighting objects to simulate indoor lights.

The easiest way to turn off all the sun and sky stuff is to choose 'simple black background' from the sky presets AND disable sunlight in the skylab.
