For my personal single artist workflow 10 minute per frame is the maximum limit,ideally 7 min or less which means poser+Firefly for lengthy animations is a definate NO GO even if it didnt choke up on dense scenes (which it would with something like sanctumarts RDL7 Sci fi props ;-/) The Carrara portion of this clip (link) rendered at about 1min 53 sec per frame granted its only one figure 3 lights and a prop I can extrapolate from here to stay within my maximum min-per-frame requirements. what I like is that Carrara pro has a rendering panel that gives real time rendering stats including time elapsed,frames per min/hour and estimated completion times which updates constantly to account for scene changes that slow things down like blurry reflections& vector blurs etc. this of course is not even taking into account having the five included render nodes active on a small mini-farm if you have the extra machines to do so ( I dont :-( )
