I'm aware Bryce is a Raytracing program I love the program, but there is got to be some serious problem with the Render engine, to take so long to render. In POV for example you can quickly render a Glass Sphere and it will look just like glass, but to the same in Bryce will take 3-4 times longer. I'm not against Bryce I'm just comenting on what I think might be the reason why it renders so slow. It may not be relying on the Processor as much as we like it to.
