Well, I set it to render, and ended up making a trip to the emergency room. (an 8 hour trip) Anyhow, as it turns out, my ovarian cyst ruptured, and am now on some heavy pain meds.... weeeeeee So I think this week would be best for rendering, not for editing...hahahahah Working for that render...am very determined.... (tried the render to disk, and it got stuck and froze in the first line...lol) BTW, after some new trees and stuff this morning, new specs are 915 objects, and 2,103,092 polygons. (think I better stop before my pc does...lol) Jen
