Hiya. Everyone who using Bryce knows how Rendering somethings can take forever. I understand that, but I'm working on something now and it's truly beginning to irritate me. First, the Auto-Update for the preview alone takes a forever. I don't know for sure how long, because I left while it did. I usually keep it on wireframe when I am working on it because on this. Anyway, I tried to render it at 800x600 with Regular Quality and Normal Optimizations as opposed to the best levels because it was basically a first draft. It only got to 32% complete and froze. I say it froze because I tried to pause the render several time and nothing ever happened. I came back much later (10+hours) and it hadn't progressed at all. I never got the dialogue asking to Stop or Resume. Agh! I just want to know if there are any things I can do to improve the render times. ANYTHING. I need my computer at least every other day, so I can't just bear down and wait. Ack. I'd appreciate any suggestions or helpful advice from people who've had similar frustrations. Thanks.
