If you work at a bigger scale then you have to work harder. I've always rendered my work at about 1200x900 or somewhere around there. Basically, YES, you do have more to fill in because the screen is bigger, therefore there's more information to feed Bryce. Of course, if you work on a 800x600 resolution, if you render to file at 1600x1200 I think that Bryce will simply stretch out the image. Like right now I have 1400x1050 resolution on my laptop. So I decreased it to 1024 and noticed that Bryce (I had it running) DID in fact decrease the size of the render window. Working at a higher resolution doesn't imply that you can be sloppy texture wise though. A higher res image will be a bigger render for Bryce, because it has more to render. At the same time, an 800x600 render will blow anyone's mind if it's made by someone with talent. That's pretty much what it boils down to. The world in a grain of sand :) Drac
