I've searched. I'm sure it's obvious or that there's been topics on it, but I can't find them... Maybe I'm just tired... Got a dual processor box. Know that Bryce (5.5) isn't multi threaded enough to take advantage of this. Want to run Bryce Lightning on same box. How do I get the Bryce UI plus Lightning to render? At the moment I can only get Lightning to do it, and not the UI. Where's the setting I've missed? Where's the message saying it's been removed? Sorry for being dumb! All the best, Mark.

Render Animation, can be an animation or a static scene. At the botton is your key.
Have fun!

Thanks for your quick reply, and for your comment :) However, I'd already found the 'render on network' thingy (maybe I should have been clearer? anyway...) I'm pretty sure in earlier Bryce you could render to network, but also get the copy of Bryce you were using to render a bit as well. I only have one machine see, but Bryce doesn't use both CPU's... I figured if I ran Bryce Lightning, plus normal Bryce, and rendered in network render mode, then Lightning would do a bit and Bryce UI would do a bit... Feeling more silly by the moment. LOL Mark.

-Yes, that's true, still is.

Nope, Bryce will not do that, sorrry.

Thanks AS... guess I'll just have to fire up a Virtual Machine then ;o) It's a million to one chance... but it just might work! All the best, Mark.

Bryce Lightening needs a different IP than the one Bryyce itself is using. The network Render is looking for IP's not CPU's.

Yeah... thanks for that :)
When I get a chance I will fire up Microsoft Virtual PC and run Lightning in that... at least 50% of my CPU won't be wasted then.
Mark.

But is there a point? I think letting Bryce render over night still would do better ;)

Agreed, lol... just want to get the most out of my nice laptop, lol...
