Thanks, yeah I also don't really mind day-long render times. But I was just curious if there was any way to speed it up. Because I have an "athlon 2000+, 512 DDR Ram, Geforce 4 (Bryce doesn't make any good use of your GPU, or does it?)" setup. I'll look into the quality settings. And yes it is quite a big file, I'm not an efficient modeller.
