Not tending to use Bryce 5 a lot, I tend to do my modeling and poser work on one system, and then just transfer the exported files and associated textures over to the other system, and then import into the scene I built and render. I'm a bit atypical... I have two systems, and my roommate has two, and we both own bryce 4, so there's almost always a system not in use to do something on. And my internet system is completely seperate from all of those. Quick tip: if it's a file you're importing, it speeds things up to have all of the textures and other files in the same folder when you import - then bryce can find them faster without constantly asking you where they are. I'm afraid there's no real shortcut on gathering them up except to keep track of them while you're designing the poser figure or whatever model, and dropping them into a work folder as you go. [That I've found at least] If it's a bryce file you've already built, you've already gone through that tedious process... Bryce will already have the textures etc you need in the scene file, so you just transfer the file and open it up. I find a lot of times on my 600, I can minimise Bryce while it renders and work in another app without increasing my render time too much. [Keeping in mind that I tend to build scenes with a lot of reflection and other long render time features, so adding a few extra hours to a render that's already going to take several days doesn't bother me much.] Hope any of this helped a bit - it's late and past my bedtime. ;]
