I have a WIP that I'm quite happy with so far. So last night I saved, rendered, saved again - and Bryce shuts down on error during saving. Today I've tried 10 times to open my WIP, and Bryce shuts down on error after 40% of loading objects... :( Anyone know what happened? The image is a little complex with trees, bushes and so on, but far from being as complex as anything I've seen others do. I reinstalled last week after my libraries collapsed. What do I do now?? Please help..

Had that happen to me when I have huge sceens and save. Sometimes it is specifik models that mess it up. I hate when that happends :(

I don't think it's because of a specific model - last thing I did was to duplicate a bush.. I can't see the number of polygons now as I can't open the file, but I'd say that it's big, but far from huge.

Check whether image textures have too long names. Copy them to the directory with br5 file. Check whether the image textures are too big in pixel dimensions.

Er, the length of the path to the texture might be important, that's why you have to copy them to the br5 directory.

Alas, but I have none of those problems in my iteratin of 5.01. I use any file, and my folder trees are quite extensive... Try looking for a temp file, something called "axfbj001.tmp", or something. Usually has "ax" at the beginning. Open this file using Bryce, and perhaps you'll be okay. I've revived a dozen or so bad scenes in this manner... (this is the temp file that Bryce uses while saving...) It would most likely be in your project directory, be it C:Program FilesCorelBryce 5, or in the folder where you last saved your scene...
