Hey, you're welcome Odidio!!!

If I may add to this?

To position the sun/moon

While in Sky/fog top menu, and in wireframe mode:

Position Sun: (first) ctrl+alt, double left click on Sun control,.... then ctrl+alt, left click on scene

Position Moon (first) ctrl+alt+shift, double left click on Sun control,..... then ctrl+alt+shift, left click on scene

Example for moon position:


edit: added pic

Now thats an easy way to place the sun or moon, thanks.

Thanks Stem for the tip, I did not know this one.

Thanks Uguel, I'll be printing that out to have close at hand.
You're welcome Odidio!

... to all, feel free to add any shortcuts or commands
whenever you find a new one that was not posted!

You can open the the Material Lab anytime by clinking Ctrl+M
even if you have nothing selected in the workplace. This might come in handy
if you open Bryce with the purpose of creating new materiasl only.

In the material Lab, hit CTRL to add up more texture presets in the ABCD rows
Clicking on Shift in the ABCD rows will open one preset at a time only.

A short way to have the texture library displayed, shift-click the button
that gives you the menu titles, the texture library will be displayed.

shift click on a menu title



.....to have the textures showing

Hello,
Although a lot of shorcut keys have been posted by Uguel (thanks). I will post the full documented lists. These are for bryce6, but have found all I have tried in bryce5 do work correctly. If for some reason they do not work in bryce5 as shown, then we can ammend to add the correct keys for bryce5.
