Hi all, I have a quick question. Does Bryce have a limitation on the number of objects that can be included in a scene? I am making a house model, and I need to populate the rooms with objects that would be found there (i.e. kitchen articles, bathroom articles, etc.) This is making the file quite large, which is no problem (I'm running a G4 with 895 MB RAM, 40 GB hard drive and have allocated 300 MB to the memory available to Bryce) but of course, as the file grows (and I use quite a few .dxf files) it naturally takes longer to load. This is not a complaint, I expect it. I'm just worried that I may "overpopulate" the model to the point where Bryce won't work with it anymore. That hasn't happened yet, and I am hoping it won't. Unfortunately, because of lighting influences, I can't really break the model into component structures (which would be smaller) because the loss of some components alters the others. It's hard to explain...but if you live in a glass house, you'd understand! Anyway, do you think I am in danger of making a file that Bryce will eventually be unable to work with? I can't find a limitation notice in the manual, but there are a lot of things I can't find in the manual! Thanks for your help!
