Quote - you could do that with bryce to only need a terraquat of ram and a 10,000ghz render farm and a few months.....

Each scene was rendered under an hour on an I.B.M Thinkpad T42P Laptop with 2GB of Ram.

When I first started using Carrara, I thought ok... there has to be some sort of trick going on here, there is no way this thing, can render amazing quality images so quickly.

I still feel skeptical everytime I render something in Carrara, I feel like someone is going to come into the room and announce that I'm on some kind of candid camera and this was a joke.
 
Now Since DAZ owns both Carrara and Bryce, it would be amazing if they could make Bryce render as fast as Carrara.
