Can someone give me a quick idea of what HDRI is and why I want to use it. I know I should do a web search but I thought I'd get a short fast answer here which would be just as good.

It stands for High Dymanic Range Image,..........Bryce calls it IBL or Image Based Lighting. It's a way of lighting a scene using no lights,................the HDRI lights the scene instead, producing(in some cases)a more natural softer light. It comes at the cost of incresed rendertimes though.

Fortunately with Bryce 6.1, you can turn off the soft shadows which you HAD to have with Bryce 6.0, and that will speed up render times GREATLY.
