Bryce doesn't 'rulez', but a few talented artists have managed to 'rule' Bryce...

It's a tool, like any other....often abused and misused.....Just as with the advent of electric saws, when birds-mouths were over-cut....[it's a building thing]...

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.

ve this gray underground where you can work on, i can change the sky in a nice collor, then i put this objects in it, give it the right textures and stuff, but then at the bottom i still see this gray underground that is ruing the hole picture, it is possible to get it of when i move the camera, so it is facing the sky, but then when i insert a object it isn´t in my working are.
Is there a way to get that gray underground away?

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.

Choose the grey plane (or the ground) and delete it (delete button) or add texture to it.
