Ouch.. That IS a long time. I imagine your hardware has a lot to do with that though. I've done several rather complex renders on my new machine and none of them took more than 30-45 minutes. On my previous rig, they'd take at most an hour. But I'm not using Bryce most of the time, I use TrueSpace for most of my stuff. I need to find my Bryce CD and reinstall. I'm still putting things back together here, haven't done a Bryce piece in a long time. I've always found that most people are a lot better than I am with that particular program. Ah well.
