Cjreynolds, well if your scenes are not too large (less than 10meg) you can post me them and - time permitting - I will happily tinker with it, video the process and let you have it back.

Thanks! I may take you up on that. For right now though, I’m going through your lighting tutorials and making progress, so I’ll bug you later when I hit a snag (it’ll probably be soon, LOL!)

I’ll get back to you

That’s what I like to hear!

Also, at this moment…  if anyone has any spare pennies…  Horo and David’s Christmas Sale

Me too.  I started in 3D about 12 years ago with Bryce 4, and it’s time I start using my Bryce 7 Pro.  Dropping 4 of yours and Hiro’s items in my cart today helped “encourage” me to do so.

Right, something new and a bit exotic.  Wrap all your favourite beings of cosmic evil in lovely glowing rainbow outlines - you know it’s what they really want!
