I'm on a 400 MHZ AMD K-6-2 with 128 megs of ram. I am rendering a single 300 dpi image 8.5" x 11" of a mountain scene. video card with agp Anti-alias is normal 1 volumetric item I have stopped all ram hoggin back-ground programs that I have. It is Day 4 and I am only 73% rendered? What the HECK can I do to speed this or my next render up? Gads!

this is currently an item under investigation. The new 4.1 from corel seems to be offering varied degrees of render times, especially if any volumetric materials are within the scene. I even read one post on a newsgroup (that had pictures to back it) that said there was ~20x greater render time...tho Im not sure about that, the pictures were entirely different. You have done all the necessary steps to give Bryce the CPU, all except a couple anyhow There is a free program called "rambooster" that reclaims RAM (even while Bryce is running) that appears to help in render times...and a recent discovery by me is implying that having Bryce installed on its own partition (nothing else on it)of a harddrive is giving ~10 faster render times. good luck Brycetech
