Heh, got the same problem here (takes 15 minutes just to render the freakin thumbnail)...I think the solution in my case is a bigger processor. Too bad bryce won't use openGL, that graphics card of mine sould be good for something besides games....scenes considerably more complicated than bryce scenes render on the fly. Now if you happen to have one of these friends/family that spends $10000 plus on upgrading thier computer each year.........
