Attached Link: no TA 1 hour render

6 hours for the TA render or non TA? Hope you were talking about the TA.

My only crit is that the ceiling is too bright, there is only light coming through the windows to light that area of the model. TA is a hard tool to weild. It seems that generally speaking it either brightens the scene too much or grains it out so to speak. Not to mention the render times. I think that generally speaking in bryce it's easier to just use many filler lights / rings / domes for a much faster render.

The link I posted above although nowhere near perfect was done in only 30 minutes and rendered in an hour. Certainly not 'true' GI or true ambience. And parts don't look quite right, but for the render times I'm starting to think that TA isn't always worth it.

One last Q, how'd you avoid fasceting wow bad spelling.. on the ceiling?
