I have only recently started using Bryce, but i've found that Bryce tends to drop itself to Low priority every five or so minutes... this means that it uses a lot less of the processor than IMO it should. Sometime in the near future, ill be making a VB program that will bump its priority up a bit. It was using 30% of my processors juice today, leaving 60% Wasted... WHY??? I couldnt see an option to change the priority in the actual program itself... Hence why i intend to make the app. My current render, on a 1300 processor, was at 24% after 11 hours (Rendering to hard drive, because i thought it might be faster as it doesnt draw the pixels (i think). I will have to look at plop rendering... The spraycan wasnt working too well... am using an imported M3 figure from poser5..
