    You can get it at http://www.mayang.com/textures
    It's under the Aerial Views section, and called Toronto.

    Far from perfect, but I think this is more the direction things should be going in. This is just four lights, which is actually probably more than I needed, but it's easier to explain if there's less tweakage. Three area lights and a distant light. I don't know how this translates to Bryce, so here's the logic of it all: have two big flat diffused lights to the right and the left of your foreground, and one big flat diffused light above. All f these should adequately balance out and light the ships.

    Then, bring in a big sun light on the left side. This should be really intense. Probably way more intense than the one I have here.

    Make sure your lights are all tinged yellowish with bluish shadows, it's a cloudless day under the sun, that's going to start matching the lighting conditions and start filling in the gaps in your coloring. The cubes in this shot are matte grey. All the color on them is lights. Also, make sure the shadows never get darker than the black point in the image. You can do this by spending time tweaking the lights, or just bring the luminosity on the surface up a bit.

    I have a Blender game engine question. I have a model in Blender, and I have set all the controls so it turns and all, but whenever i press "P" to preview the game, the model is flat white, and in Blender when i do a render it has textures. Is it just because it is being previewed? Please help!

    Hey, all. I didn't want to start a new thread for something this small, so I figured I'd just toss it in here with the rest of the random crap.

    I've got a picture here of my little brother, in costume, holding a lightsaber prop. Would anyone here have the time to rotoscope the blade for me? I haven't bought any graphics software yet, and wouldn't know how to use it if I had.

    Either blue or green would be fine, I don't think he'd care much either way.

    Thank you very much.

    Hah! I still use my original password. I even use it for other things now because it's so secure (numbers and letters and all) and because I've had it memorized for years.



    EDIT: Man, that is hot, Fig.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that most of us here are somewhat inept when it comes to Blender's game engine. I've wanted to learn how to use it before, ad still somewhat do, but unfortunately at this point I've not learned anything yet.

    Funny, funny stuff, Laszlo. Surely, however, you've realized that DVeditor would pwn my 1337ness through the sheer force of his bansaber.
