Re: Bryce and Photoshop

Hi Shari

Start a 'New Do***ent'
Click on the following:
'Create' panel at the top
Funny little man with his arms out. (2D picture object)
A new panel opens.
Click on a blank square.
'Open' pops up, wants to know what picture file to put on your 2D object.
You find one and click 'Open'
You see three frames first one has your picture.
The second is blank. (This is the alpha channel which combined with your 
picture will make it see though,
use a black and white version of your picture the black parts of which are

see though )
The third is the result.
Kick on the tick or check and you are done.
You now have your picture on a frame in the 3D space.

You say Photoshop? You can ex****t the opacity channel and use that for the

alpha frame.
