I have just bought a magazine with Bryce 3d on it(which I have upgraded to 3.1) and I have been trying it out. I am impressed with the render quality but stunned by some of the render times. I'm also new to this forum but already have learnt alot. Thought I would post my first image (which does not include a sphere over water). All comments welcome. (PS-And yes I know I should have a head in the basket!)
