All new to me hearing this. I have not as yet explored the "other" render settings/features of Bryce. I remember when I 1st got Bryce 5 I tried doing something -in there- for some kind of distance blur effect, and after 4 plus days I had a render that looked like I stopped it after the 1st pass of an "on screen" render...

I suppose I am over-paranoid of increasing render times, Ive been using Bryce all this time (ever since 4, early 1999-ish?!?) and am just now venturing into renders that even use lights :P

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count, and those that can't..
