Your images are Awesome...excellent effects I too do alot of preproduction especially on my textures and effects I personally dont think I would have had the patience to wait 2 days

Thanks for your rating. Yez, 2 days is a lot, but I'm used to even bigger renderproblems(on my old system, like 171,5 hours on an image of 640x480). Also the image was rendered in seperate parts. I was lucky I just upgraded my system to the awesome speed of an Athlon 1800+.

Rayraz, I have to put my two cents in...this is really incredible work. Very good idea, to create Bryce scenes in "layers" - so far I've only had to do that with one scene that kept crashing my computer every time I tried to render it! Anyway, this, along with your other works, is fabulous. And super modelling job on the ships.

The only reason i didn't vote is because the ranking only goes up to 10. you get a 10 just because you have the patienece for the render time. Another 10 for the textures and post work,and another 10 for overall compostion and render,and finally another 10 for each time I looked at this image and said WOW!It's at least a 40
