I appreciate the offer Dash. I've looked at so many people's pictures, I had to go back to yours to remember which was which. I am soooo impressed! [And it's not that I'm just easily impressed either! :o)] I may have to take you up on your offer... I'm anxious to get home and see what's happened to my render. I'd did a couple of plop renders and it looked like .02 was going to be what I wanted in looks. I also noticed that changing that and taking the rpp down a little took the projected render time from something like 19 hours to a couple of hours. ~sigh~ Here I sit, immersed in databases, transparencies, manual formatting and other mundane things. I should be home doing Bryce! ;o)
