Loading Saturn into Bryce 4/5

First download the .OBJ/MTL and the JPEGs and put them all in the same folder.

1) Load up Bryce and import (File>>Import) the saturnUV.obj. Control+click the "planet" and select Planet_1 from the popup.

2) Once selected (it turns red) click on the little M in the gadget that appears next to it. This opens the Material Editor.

Move the little blue dot in the ambient row over to the first column by clicking in the column.

Now click and drag the Ambience slider to a value around 10 and set the Specularity to 0. Click the check mark to save and exit.

4) Now repeat steps 1-3 with the rings_1 object (you may have to pan the camera a little to be able to select it).

5) Now we need to add the Alpha transparency. Click the teal colored dot above the preview of the Ring diffuse image. This opens the Picture editor.

6) Above the middle (now empty) preview box click the Load button. From the File Selector select ringtrans.jpg then OK. The grayscale image at right should appear. Click the check mark to exit.

Now move the Transparency dot over to the first column.

The last thing to do is to select the Materials Options popup (the little arrow at mid-top) and select Blend Transparency. Click the check mark to exit the ME.

Back in the main Bryce Interface, delete the ground plane and change the Sky to the Starry Night preset and render.
