Hi,
Interesting seeing what you got for the render, as a comparison the time
I get to render the ball pyramid is 6 minutes and 44 seconds.
I have a P4 3.0gig with 1 gig ram, hyperthreading, fx5700 video card,
windows xp home. When I first did this I thought I had made a mistake
and had changed the file somehow but redownloading it gave me the same
answer. I see from the other messages that C3 is faster to render things.
Have fun
Neil
