Doublecrash quote: "I have my document setup to 800x600 due to my little laptop monitor. But for the renders, I change usually the document size to 512x384 and render at 1:2 (1024x768)" You lost me here. So, your work space for Bryce is set to 800x600. And when you render your work (file) you change the size of your file to 512x384 and the render res to 1:2 ?????? Why are you doing all that? I have a AMD Duron 700 Mhz and 256 SDram and the render process takes a lot of time. Are those changes you make help you to render your files faster??? Is this the reason you make all this changes?? How importantant is that render resolution?
