its my current wallpaper :D

Use better textures for the rocks. But overall it is really good.

thats fkin really good, just textures, and mabe betetr sky :) i dun now how make terains in bryce :( im making just abstract renders ....

sky is good, but rocks isnt, change rocks texture and pwn us

I don't really know how hard things are to create in Bryce, but I could guess that waterfalls aren't that easy. The only things that I'd really like to see would be better-looking textures to the rocks and maybe the water, and splashing water/fog/the thing when the water from the fall hits the suface of the lake /sea. Maybe try it out in photoshop using some brushes ? I'm not the best artist when it comes to Bryce, so I can't really say there's anything wrong with it, but those are the things I think would look cool. good job.

I never used Bryce so I have no clue how difficult that is to create but...

-Maybe put in waves to give the efffect of the water splashing
-Create a fog effect where waterfall hits lake..
-The tall skinny rock right in front of the waterfall could do with some work..the top part doesn't look right.
-Change rock texture
-Put in some foam around the edges of the mountains..

hmm rocks are quite simple in bryce, dunno about the waterfall

quite good, needs some uv maps expecially for the rock textures. add some particle systems for the haze. sky looks to flat - dunno how to fix that or if it's possible via particle systems/gizmos. add some more bits and pieces to get a more realistic look (maybe some plants on the rocks).

Here you can see how to make splashing water.
The tutorial is ment for terragen but all the work that's done here is in Photoshop

The only problem with splashing water is that you start dealing with dynamics. And you should really only get into stuff like that when you really really know what your doing. I don't know about bryce but in almost everything else dynamics are one of the hardest things to master.

alright since i dont know squat about bryce im saying this from a point of view of a noob. the rocks, the water and the sky look so un-natural its almost comical. something about how flat the rocks look just bugs the hell out of me, and how the waterfal hits the water, with a perfect 90degree angle just looks too fake for my tastes. also, that sky is just no good my friend, you may want to render one in terragen and put it in here to make it look a little nicer.

Oo would be a bunch of work. dunno if its possible to import .tgw files into bryce. Maybe you'll able to use terrain files as displacement map (if not deinstall bryce and take another 3d prog ^^).

those are all great ideas
but i dont use terragen and dont plan on useing it

and i really cant find any were to download rock textuers
if someone can please post a link it would be great :)

but i really like the splashing water and fog idea hopefully i will learn how to do it soon :P

best way to get good textures is to take them with your own digicam ^^

I know that in some 3d software you often just make your own. I don't know about bryce, but sometimes if you make it yourself you can match the render better.

I suggest you try looking through the settings at the rocks, also choose another texture. But the waterfall looks really neat, gives me a fantasy image for some reason :P Maybe it's a little to bend, but I actually don't think I can do better :) Good work! Ohh, and the water looks to repetive on some places. :)

THANX :)
