Hi Bryce Forum. I"m new to Bryce I only just yesterday sat down and composed an image -- I'm loving it and am already an addict. :) Anywho, my image was 1000x748. I figured this would be horrible in rendering time so I left for awhile and when I came back to check on the progress the clock on my pc had stopped. It started again after the render completed miraculously at the correct time, but for an hour and a half it was 3:41. Is this a common occuring thing?? :) If so I suppose its for the best -- that way I can try to convince myself I'm not really an insomniac. Also is there any other little quirks I should know about that are perhaps modifiable?

Hi Maygen, If you mean that after some passes (I think 4) the time is not put on screen when using a high-quality AA-setting, than I think there's nothing wrong. I often have the same happening to my images. My rule of thumb usually is to multiply the last given time (if the clock stops after the 4th pass) with 5 or 6 and you've got the total rendertime of your image most of the time (give or take 15%). But I haven't had any problems because of the clock stopping so I think you will not encounter them either. Bye, Rayraz
