I'm not sure I understand the first question your going to have to rephrase it. The second questions is well yes, get a faster computer, cut down on the number of reflective textures, turn off volumetric atmosphere, the more objects, the longer the render, render to disk, it runs a little faster. The reason that the render times tend to be long is the fact that the rendering engine is true raytrace, and Bryce will run up Billions (I'm not kidding) of calulations to generate an image. Turn off "Fine Art" rendering, the quality benifits are not worth the extra gain in most cases. Do a search for Tutorials for Bryce at Google you will find a huge amount of information and help out there.

PS: Please Please Please take some time to learn how Bryce works before trying to upload any walls you have made with it. They will stand about ZERO chance of getting past the Moderators.

Ok, that is the ground plane, you can select it and delete it or probibly better change it from the default gray material to one that works better for your picture. That is my suggestion and it is what most people will do. Just select the plane, click on the little "M" and change the material.

ok, thank you all
