I've just spent more than 2 days modeling and rendering a piece in Bryce and when I try to close the file... I get a generic failure message! Eeek. And my Bryce DOCS folder is full of these AxiFFF.tmp files (which store the information temporarily)... anthing I can do to save the BR5 file? Or... how can I access the AxiFFF files? I did manage to save some extra Bitmaps and export a JPEG. Thanks for feedback and suggestions, Susan
