One of the easiest (but not neccesarily the best) ways to get started is to displace a monochrome bitmap into a cube, (which you can generate in Photshop. PSP or even Bryce can export one I think)

You have to watch the polys very carefully though, 'cause if you use the poly threshing function afterwards it's a bugger for screwing things up. You can then edit the vertices manually once the displacement is complete to get the kind of terrain you were looking for.

Max!

3Dstudio max,

I started using Bryce 4.0 to get some terrain feel but it pumps out way to many polygons here is an example of bryce terrain looks good but high polygon for sure!

nother bryce terrain pic

nother one

 

[Chrysaor]

Bah you, I think the terrain brush is the best

 

[Akuma]

it doesnt really matter as it all looks ass-ugly when it's imported into the editor

the only workaround is high ambientish (not zone) light and clever uvw mapping on the terrain textures

Undying had some nice mountains.

bah-me - that looks... horrible.

no matter I was just showing how imported bryce 3D shapes look
