Miss Nancy, I'll need to put a timer on the renders to compare more precisely the speed gain. As for samples, not sure the render QUALITY is any different (other than, as I noted earlier, a bit darker). That said, sometime in the next few weeks I'll post a few sample clips of the animations I've been working on for a while, and should be able to finish in P7 -- a Star Wars-type space battle and a superhero flick (the story lines in both are inside jokes, but they should be understandable). I confess I'm intimidated by the high standard set by Tvining with his Star Trek Aurora animation-in-progress, but I don't have his time or patience, so when the time comes just have a look and recognize that you're dealing with an ADHD 3D amateur here with more planning and aspiration than patience. Hmmm. Maybe I'll post an individual figure still, anyway. SS
