The above scenario is outputting approx. 10seconds of render an hour. And like I said, looks like complete ass. If it rendered 10 seconds in... five minutes? I could live with that.

I guess I'm suffering from unfairly comparing Vue capabilities to something like Maya, which will bang out some kind of "playblast" type render real speedy-like.

As far as specs, I'm running Vue4Pro on Windows XP with a Pentium4 3.6GHz and 3G RAM. So... fast enough to not be its own problem I think...

I'm just pining for a function Vue4Pro doesn't offer, right? How about Vue5 iterations?
