Bryce: Landscape - Lake or Pond

Today we will use the Bryce Terrain editor to create a lake scene:
  • Insert a Terrain
  • Paint the entire Terrain with a dark gray (very low elevation)
  • Use the soft-edged, smaller brush on the lowest (black) elevation to paint a lake shape
  • Exit the Terrain editor (check mark) to view your new Terrain
  • Click EDIT and drag the Y Axis (Resize) down to flatten your terrain
  • Add a Water Plain and use the  Y Axis (Reposition) to move the water to the appropriate level (so that it shows inside your lake cut-out but doesn't cover the entire Terrain
  • Add finishing touches (additional Terrains for background, adjust textures, change your sky, etc.)
When finished:
  • Save As (as a .BR7 file) to your Thawspace
  • Render your picture
  • When finished Rendering, "Save Image As" and  select JPEG
  • Upload your JPEG to your portfolio blog
