i have been trying to render a pic in bryce 5 for the last 36+ hours...... it contains 68 objects and 623540 polygons. my comp is not slow by any stretch of the imagination here are some specs: 2.54 ghz processor; dual 80gb raid drives (raid 0 stripe (for speed)); 1GB of 32 bit rd-ram; and a Nvidia Geforce9550.......
i have left the comp to render for 3 days now on the best setting, including 256 rays per pixal, as i do with all of my other images that i render. I usually expect them to be done after 3 days because it is on the best setting; i leave it rendering over night BTW. I am trying to render this image @ 1600x1200 and this rendering has never been past the first pass of the rendering bar.... it gets to the landscape and just stops. I have neve had this happen before.... has anyone else encountered the same problem?
