Jaymonjay: I know what you mean baout the "not visible forget it" thing, but I still havent decided on a POV of this pic yet, or even what will be added to it. So we shall see, once I get one Steady, then Ill most likely go about takeing out "hidden" objects. Thanks for the tips :)

draculaz: So far I havent had any trouble with the Card, but its most likely the reason for "jumpy" wireframes and what not. WHat do you sugest for a Highend, low budget Card, or ven mid way?

Gog_CA1: Thanks for the tips :)

Incarnadine: Its not a photo texture, I drew it up in photoshop. I could however try to Optimize the texture, Ill give it a try. I also think you may be right about the bump map....oops :)

karineq: Thank you so much for the compliments! Never ever give up on Bryce. Just cause you see something that goes beyon your means, all that means s that you should do a bit of reading and soak up as many tutoorials as humanly possible, even if its not for something your currently doing, its all about learning technique :) As for the POV , its still not decided, I did actually do a render from the POV that you mentions, and it came out nicely, but it left out the detailk form the top of the Castle, and Id like to get in as much of it as possible.

TheBryster: Hey man, Ive been meaning to compliment you on your work, and have definatly seen your Crystal Palace, and its nothing short of awesome. Great attention to detail and realisim, I can Imaigne the rendertimes. But what was the 12hr render dpi @ ? My render for "Reflecting on Meditation" took 24+ hrs http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=274356 but then again, as you stated your PC (or MAC cant discriminate :)) is twice the power, and this was a 300dpi render

shadowdragonlord: Im not to sure what you mean, but I think I already do it, I save my Bryce files in two different spaces, one on a Network Drive and the other on my PC drive, jsut incase something happens (power outage etc) it has happend , and I ended up with a broken file, and haveing to start all over again, which is quite sustrating, but these symptoms are when I save as a different file name. Heres the link to the main render thus far :) http://revolvingdesigns.com/darkcastle.jpg
