Have you ever tried any other 3D software for rendering? With every 3D software in the world, people complain about the long rendering times. The nature od the game! Rendering is always the most time consuming thing while creating 3D images. The only thing that helps is a faster machine or a render farm - OR, be patient. I told it several times before, so my old friends will be bored, my longest render (in Bryce 4) run 3 weeks!!! Yes, 3 weeks for one image - part of a bigger calendar.
