Rick, What do you think we should do about the .PRJ? I'm thinking maybe selecting all, then shift-mirroring selected, and pulling the camera back and/or opening up FOV to get it all in… Probably won't quite double the time, but ought to add a couple of minutes, anyway… You've probably seen my dual-Alpha estimate; I think if we can arrive at a .PRJ that yields close to 100 sec using my calculations, it's gonna be about as good as we can get now. Beyond that, I fear, we'd be trying to estimate Pentium speeds on a 286! And after all, if some future quad P7 does the render in :10, we'll be so far beyond what we're doing now that these times will be little more than a source of amusement, anyway! Whaddaya think? SCL
