This wedding dingbang, shing bang is getting to me. Aug 9th-11th is the date..yeah..three days..(3 days is the shortened version)..everyone from Poland to Curacoa will be flooding here ..and in the midst of all this prep for my nephew's wedding, I have two images to render. One has taken me 5 hours on a normal bryce onto bryce, 72 dpi, default size to render. In the middle of the render.. my laptop did a physical memory dump. Restarted again..and stepped out...in the meantime.. the broadband guys came home to change my modem wire. They restarted without saving. ACK!! Was sitting on my bum, playing freecell while waiting zealously at the comp so that no one touches it. And my mouse froze. Had to force restart... Is Daz gonna ever deal with render times????????????? My mailbox is full of ebots that I haven't had time to read..and I am ashamedly forced to say that I may have to temporarily stop ebots till the dam of relatives is closed. I don't believe I said I'd have to stop ebots..even if it's temporarily... And yeah..I know ..have a bunch of stuff to put up on the gallery... will do so when my hair becomes less frazzled...... It's 4:45 am..catching a 6:30 to bombay...

There,there, dear, everything is going to be all right,lol. Hope your life becomes a little less hectic soon.

"Is Daz gonna ever deal with render times?????????????" Yes, they already have. Bryce 5.5 and 6.0 will render faster. AgentSmith

will they include luminosity and variable brick texture combinable with other bryce textures?

for some free stuff i made
and for almost daily fotos

The luminosity I would think (and hope) would be a update to Bryce, yet maybe not until 6.0 (all just a guess on my part) "variable brick texture combinable with other bryce textures"? You could already do this, unless I'm mis-understanding the complexity of the question. AS

Bryce 5.5? I was unaware of such a product. When will it come to a Best Buy near you?

I have heard in the fall. AS

show me how then A.S. I meant purely procedural brick work i tried that for a while in the deep texture editor and then gave up thinking it couldn't be done.

for some free stuff i made
and for almost daily fotos

Hmmm...I would assume it could be done. I THOUGHT I had some DTE brick textures, but they turned out to be pictures textures .mat's But, if these pure DTE mats can be done (the .mats in the picture), than I would assume a more realistic brick texture could be done! I'll try playing around with it, see what I can come up with. AgentSmith
