Quote - I've done some test renders. I used your Awesome render settings and it's taking forever to render. 

The Poser 7 and Poser Pro renderer is actually much better at raytracing than Poser 6 is. I wouldn't try the awesome settings on Poser 6 unless you were willing to get results tomorrow or, at worst, not at all. Meaning, at those settings, sometimes Poser 6 just never finishes.

Also, Poser 6 users will find many more AO artifacts, and AO runs REALLY slow, even if shadows are turned off. P6 still calculates AO in a material if raytracing is enabled.

For test rendering I like results in 10 minutes or less, so I start small and fast - looking for a 15 second render just to be able to judge light levels.

Then I shoot for Normal at 1/4 size. If it doesn't finish in less than a minute, I won't try it at full size, because that's going to be 16 times longer.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
