For some really funky text. Create white text on a black background. Easy enough to do in Vegas, suggest doing it in a HD project and save a frame as a jpg, you could use anything really, PS etc.
Now in Bryce, add a terrain, click the "E" widget. In the editor you can load a picture. Load the frame of text you created before. Bingo!
Text mountains with trees, snow, whatever. One can animate this too!
Back in your text editor add some glow (B&W) to add slopes to your text mountains. The Bryce terrain editor lets you finess it too.
Now my efforts look, well, pretty damn twee but hopefully I can kick start the creative brains amongst us to use the idea to good effect.
