Hi, if all the clones of your object are going to be seen from the same angle (that is, if they are going to present the same face to the camera as they stretch off into the distance, you could try rendering an images of just one on a white background, save it as jpg, then use that jpg to apply the image to a 2-D face object. Put a couple of copies of your 3-d object closest to the camera, then make the rest of your row out of the 2-D faces (multi-replicate them so that they stretch back into the distance). This will be much faster to do, and will keep the size of your file down.
