"Yes very different story. I wonders why all the animation tools are provided in Vue; wind effect, keyframe, mover etc.. Those tools are useless with this renderer." If you're as "serious" (your words, not mine) an animator as you say you are, then why are you using Vue and Carrara to begin with? Time to move up to a more "serious" animation package, and not concern yourself over the rendering times benchmarked by someone on only one machine, because you should have your work outsourced to a renderfarm anyway. ;-) Vue's renderer is perfectly suitable for most short animations by hobbyists, etc.. Saying it's no good for animation is misleading. It's definitely NOT suitable for professiona-level animations that will span tens of thousands of frames with things like motion blur and DOF or spot-on camera mapping for composite shots... but then again, neither is Carrara (which you seem to hold in high regard). Just my 2 cents. ;-)
