Thanks for your help everyone, there dose'nt seem to be much demand for snakes out there, bit of a surprise really as I would think the house of horror could use some.
Many thanks to you all.****

**Thanks Prixat,

I understand now,thats fine.
In that case will not worry about it too much as I am still in the early learning stages,can see the benefit of having it though.
Thankyou for your help.
Cheers Blueblott.**

Thanks , yes 4.2 was loaded and selected but as soon as I selected the LOD  everything just locked up.I will try as you suggest,access content/data...
What does this allow you to do when it is working, like extra detail available, is this by way of extra morphs?
Thanks again for your help.

Should mention that LOD is in the V4.2 folder.
Thanks

Halfdragon, thats great.
Dont think you are alone , I was only one step in front.
You are my first person that I have been able to help here on Rosity.
You should get a prize, but sorry being a Daz fanatic am deeply in debt.

Thanks Mannixman, That sounds as if  Apollo is going to be very interesting to work with. I have downloaded all the files on Antons site I could get my hands on ( I suppose some are only intended for Poser but I grabbed them just incase) .As you do !!!  lol.
I sat looking at    allfilesarecopyrightprotected    till the penny dropped. Then read that HalfDragon also had a problem.
But cheers and thanks for your reply.

Halfdragon

come to think of it that would make a good password you know how these words get all joined together.

**Halfdragon,
 did you know that     all files are copyright protected     well now you do.

Sorry about that blue text, big mistake

A big thankyou to all for your help and advice.
Great to know your out there.
Well Fran looks like I need a second P.C for rendering if it takes that amount of time.
That s without any soundtrack , still could add the sound track in my video edit program.
Yes I do have WINGS which is easier than Blender for me to use . I thought that after doing the random buildings and deciding the path the camera would take I would then go through and just select which buildings would be in the camera eye and detail them only. Bit like the making of those cowboy flicks, just a facade at the front.This could also cut down on render time,Maybe!
Will go take a look at "City Generator" thanks DeadWarrior.Oh and yes I have DazStudio which works fine with Bryce as I have discovered.A good gateway to importing stuff into Bryce.
Perhaps better make that another two P.Cs cut render time by half!!

Fran, I guess one day I also will be able to talk in abreviations,no your not missing out on a hidden feature in Bryce. Istant Back Lighting was just a stab in the dark as to what IBL is!!
"Newbie Ahoy"
The RR (Random Replicate) you mention could that be used in a terrain situation to create city blocks of various heights, a city scape if you like?
As I have this urge to create a city then make the camera fly through the streets between the blocks.
Is this possible in Bryce ?
I had a try at animation without reading up on it .Imported the Blender monkey,opened the animation tools. Created Sky. Sea, with great sunset relections ,topped it off with Gold Blender Monkey. Moving to the timeline I moved  Monkey around etc etc.
I in all done 37 frames. A tad over one second.
One hour and fifteen minutes later the render completed!!!!!
I must have been doing too much at once.???
Many thanks for all your freebies out there Fran.

Sounds like 6..1 is the way to go Fran as it now has Instant Back Lighting as well.

Well that was going to be my next question Bryce 6.1 upgrade.
Seeing you have have mentioned it I best keep up to speed on this.What does it have to offer that 5.5 has not got.?
Sorry for the stutter there!

Thanks a lot for your help guys . Have only had Bryce 5.5 a short while ,so have a lot to learn.I like the way you can get results even with very little knowledge in this program which gives you a boost to want to learn more. Unlike some that you just hit a brick wall and lose the desire to even try again.
Great , Thanks.

Just an update to render crashes.

I removed all V4.2  and done yet another install of D/S and all has returned back to normal, everything running" sweet as a nut" you ripper !!

Thanks Annie , after reading the threads on Daz site seems as you say I was not alone in my probs, so I will put V4.2 on ice for the moment.

Cheers.
