This is a quick tutorial showing how to use the Terrain Editor in Bryce to create a simple billowing curtain.
Create a terrain.
With the terrain selected, click on the arrow next to Edit and choose the 'White Metal' material, then click on the check mark to accept.
Click on the 'E' button next to the terrain to open the Terrain Editor.
In the Terrain Editor, click on the button next to 'New' to delete the current terrain and start a new one.
Change the brush Size to the largest size possible. Drag the level down as far as it will go, then back up very slightly.
Paint over the entire terrain canvas, making sure that you move the brush off the terrain canvas to check for even coverage.
Now, we're going to lower the terrain as far as possible, without going to black. Drag the clipping bracket up ever so slightly so that just a smidgen of red shows.
Now click and hold on the Raise/Lower button and drag ever so slightly to the right. You'll be able see the first layer of color start to erode. Continue lowering until the canvas looks black. If it goes to red, you went too far. Stop before you get nervous.
End of Part 1, in Part 2 we'll start building up the billow!
