Hey, Art_4, Vue4 is a lovely program, I can't stop using it lol I've never used Bryce, though. This pic is gr8, nice concept :) If you were really daring, you could mix the material of the dolphin with a bit of water, but not too much, to make it appear wet ;) You should be able to alter the materials of an imported Poser figure BTW: did you know Vue4 comes with a dolphin figure ;) I did that for my Vue4 picture "Marina", the dolphin in the water near the ship. You could also create a terrain, in thin strips, and small size; then give it a water material, and place it under the dolphin so it looks like it's emerging from the water ;) Ok, maybe all that was bit too much for now, seeing you just got Vue4, but you'll learn :) Happy Vueing!
