Forum requires 512KB - that's why I need to reduce it. There are (unfortunately) 14 lights in this. I guess I could reduce the pixel size a bit but... I was hoping not to. It's been weeks rendering, somethimes while I'm doing something else, sometimes while I'm watching TV or when I go out (did that twice for the whole day) and sometimes I got fed up and stopped it (saved it of course I don't want to have to start all over again if I can help it,) but it's still not finished. I'm sure I've counted at least 10 passes so far and that's just while I was in the room. Trouble is I can't tell how much further it's got to go... Am I nearly there or is it just beginning? (oh, and soft shadows are NOT enabled and all the radial lights have 0 soft shadows) I'm trying the clustering and agressive as advised and now it's reporting 8:08:33 - I am right in thinking this means 8 hours, 8 mins and 33 secs? Or am I? How accurate a prediction is that?
