Thanks very much Ariana.

Shame, but I can understand why.

Thanks for the kind comment about my work.

Stuart.

Got them all back but did it one at a time in the end.

Thanks.

Thanks for the sugesstions guys, will look in to them.

They are just add ons which you install after installing Bryce. You just click or double click on them to install. If you don't have a download link for Bryce 7 you should contact Daz here: http://www.daz3d.com

You could also join the Daz Bryce forums while you are there, there's loads of help there.

Some nice renders here considering they are only 15 minute creations.

Anyone else out there ready to take up the challenge?

@kgb224.

Thats a great shot. I know it's off topic but it reminded me of a render I did with Bryce and have in my gallery.

Although mine is a crane, the view is really similar.

It's here if you want a look.

Thanks very much guys. More luck than judgement I think.

Here's mine.

He was just about to go in the box but saw me and turned away at the last second.

He did come back and feed the chicks though.

Quote - Even though I had it planned in my head, time FLIES when you only have 15 minutes.
My stopwatch said 14:43 at the end of the render time of 3:07. FUN!

I know exactly what you mean AgentSmith. I was panicing just before hitting the render button. Good challenge though. Thanks skiwillgee.

 14:50 from start to finish including  4:15 render time.

@UVDan.

Maybe the time it's taking is correct then it just seems a hell of a long time.

@bobbystahr

I remember using Imagine3D on the Amiga, also I think a program called Sculpt 4d.

Just out of nostalgia for the Amiga days I bought a copy of Cloanto's  Amiga Forever emulator for the PC. Only used it a couple of times but it brought back a lot of old memories.

You don't say how complex the scene is or the speed of your PC or how much ram you have.

I just changed the size of one of my scenes to 600x600, standard render settings with no anti aliasing and rendered to disk.

It has glass, metal, plastic, and steam materials and an HDRI backdrop.

This is the result.

You may have a problem with your PC or it's just a bit slow for the job.

The time it's taking does sound a bit excessive.

Thanks Mysteral. Good tip.
