I never tried it, Tjohn... it's a good tip, I'll surely try it. Dash, 17 hours? heheheh, I'm more in Derjimi's company... I'm happy (and I mean HAPPY) when the estimate rendertime is under the 24 hours. In my gallery, the longest rendertime was for "Waiting", I think it was about 4 or 5 days. But then I still had my Old One. Now, with the New One, the longest is "Interior Study 02", which took 3 days. If you consider that the NewOne renders about five/seven times faster than the Old One... it's scary! ;-) S.
