hey welcome matrixmode! Yeah, like the others said already, dont worry bout posting your stuff, most of what I learned about bryce was thru reading this forum, very nice folks here......that nevvvver sleep lol. Here are a few tips to get you started....and keep the peace on the homefront....... 1. while rendering you can......put in a load of laundry, wash the dishes, dust your desk, make lunch, windex your pc screen, make the bed, walk the dog, 2. if your lady is starting to look impatient at you for spending too much time brycing you can.......run her a long hot bath (sure to keep her outta your hair for at least 30 minutes) 3. and finally....and this is important, save, save save, and save under different file names so you wont loose all your hard work some of us, including myself had to learn this one the hard way lol. Have fun, Teri R
