I started rendering a 800x600 picture on 9/14/01 and it's only at 46% as of this morning. It has poser charactors and a couple of horses, an evening scene with alot of lights. Last night we had a bad storm and I was praying the lights wouldn't flicker as to lose all that was already done, rendered to disk. My question is , that since Bryce 5 is so slow (I'm about ready to go back to 4) can parts of the scene be done by itself and then taken into Photoshop and reasembled using layers? Would this be faster? I hate leaving my Dell on during lighting storms as it can be "hazard to it's well being" Thanks
