patience..ahh, that which bryce teaches (cause its so da** slow!)..heh
its much better on a multi-core computer.  but, yes...the whole process takes a lot of time and dedication (and imagination).  Even Carrara put up a fight with this one (since it crashes on every friggin animation render in version 6)

Its fun, and most definately worth it in the end...but, yep an exercise in patience.

:)
tnx
