Description
Ok Star4mation, you win :) But thank you as this was a spur to a learning curve on Bryce... which I've abandoned for far too long.
Original scene - 8 mins to set up (no dragon)
Original render - shaping up to be hoooooours.
Cancelled & looked at render settings
Played around and experimented (also dropped px size of final image, which I'd probably not do again, as I prefer to render large and then shrink where possible)
Turned off the refraction index & transmissions. Left optimisation & anti-ailiasing as Normal/Regular as I tried dropping it and things just looked hideously chunky.
Several test renders, a couple of minor tweaks and a dragon later, the render time was 19mins, 33 seconds - which may not sound that flash, but anything involving foliage has previously taken a minimum of 3 hours. So it's taught me a bit more about a program I've really only just begun to explore and for that incentive, thank you :)
Postwork was about 3 mins worth with a minor twitch on the contrast and a bit of diffuse glow in Adobe Elements, oh and a beveled edge.
Of course, if I can ever get it render As Shanim hair in under a decade (hey, you pay for quality, I know!) I'll be happy ... but hopefully won't stop learning!
However.. in the interim.. you remain Uber Speed Bryce Ninja.

Way to go Skip!!! Magnificent image!! You might not have managed an uber speed render like my "Glassware" but this image was certainly worth the wait! Superb!! Steve:)

I love the meaning behind this image..very well executed. Kudos to you learning Bryce again. I have had for awhile now and keep making excuses not to try...(Im not very motivated). LOL......Shannon ;}
