Thats cool then, I was kinda worried for a moment. I recently had to render a 10 sec kitchen flythrough sequence in 3D Max, and it was roughly about 10 hours with all the reflections etc. Well my folks said that I could take there machine, so hopefully that will free up the laptop for creating and all the rendering can be done on the base unit. Im looking to add a background into the scene anyway using something Ive created in 3d max, the tutor told me there was a free plugin download from e-frontier that I could use to take my poser files into max, had a look but it looks like it costs a couple of hundred bucks ????
