I'm having a heck of a time getting the network renderer in Bryce 5 to work,........er, actually I can't get it to work at all. I'm running 3 machines; the server is a 1Ghz P3, running win 2000 pro, the client machines are as follows; a dual P3 500Mhz running Win NT Workstation 4.0 w/SP6 and an old P2 350 running Win 98. I have configured everything the way the manual instructs you to, but every time I go to use it, nothing happens on any machine, nothing at all. On the Win NT machine Bryce lithning won't even load; I get the splash screen and then an access violation dialog box, then it crashes. I have several other 3D apps on that machine, are there any known conflicts with Bryce lightning and other 3D apps ? Also, is it me or do the render times seem greatly increased in this version ? It seems the quality has gone up but so have the render times. This factor coupled with the network render problems makes this virtually unuseable for me. I do a fair amount of architechual walk-throughs using Bryce 4 and I can't imagine dealing with the increased time needed to use version 5 for the same work. I installed my upgrade after the Corel help lines had closed for the weekend but I will be on the phone first thing monday morning. Does anyone think I should uninstall and re-install ? I rendered a 40 mb scene in Bryce 4 on normal setting and the first pass time was 12 minutes the same scene rendered in Bryce 5 first pass time was 2 hours 18 minutes. What gives ?? Help ......TOM.
