Well, after 6 days, and 2 re renders, I finally got it fixed and how I wanted it. I forget who it was who suggested I lose the window, but they were right. It was taking attention away from what you were supposed to focus on (even though for some of us it was easier than for others!!! LOL) Anyway, this current render took about 35 hours with all the new glass and such. let me know what you think about all the post render flares and stuff, too. Good/bad--anything. TNX!

That's pretty good stuff there. But what has me more taken than anything else is 35 hours to render. That's obscene! I get angry when it takes 6 or 7 minutes to render (albeit in Poser)! What's your system hardware?

I run a AMD Athlon @ 800 Mhz with 128 Mb RAM with a 40 Gb HDD and a NVidia RIVA TNT 2 Graphics Accelerated card. It is not my system that is slow, rather it is Bryce's rendering engine. It love to take its sweet time with transparency and volumetric stuff. Oh well! I think the results are worth the wait and besides, I can still work with the computer while it is doin its thing. It does not slow it down or affect the render time in any way I have seen

I like the fuzziness. Reminds me of glossy Playboy photos, and it looks better without the window. Very good work.

Oh I forgot the Lens flares are a nice touch

Yow, no wonder it took so long to render! Nice special effects!

Hi Thenodemaster Don't worry about the machine U have - it is fine. I think it is a bryce problem (No offence to bryce). I like the necklace on the ladies. (Some fine detail).

Thenondemaster, Great picture, I second all the others thoughts. Only thing that bothers me is the china hutch or dresser in the background, it has such a sharp edge to it, it divides the picture in half. When I first saw it I thought it was two pictures. Just my two cents, otherwise fantabulous. Kudos.
