spike, that was just onw of the terranium scripts that I let run. there was one I started tha was of a large terragen file with several layers, after 14 hours of running I only had 11 frames. I think if I had let it run it would have filled my discdrive before complation. people please do not start something with other people in my thread. I've done a little reseaech and this seems like a competitive price for a PREMIUM service.
