Hi,

don't done a direct comparsion yet (I have only 7 installed at the moment), but I can confirm, that it seems to be "material dependent" how fast Vue7 renders.

Also lot of loaded polygon objects slows down the rendering for me. Especially when the  objects have many different materials.

I have also noticed a few other things:

A Vue scene saved in Version6 with high object anti-aliasing settings (min/max: 4/26) opened in Vue7 shows different settings like min/max values of 3/12. Another scene saved in Vue6 with the same values, opened in Vue7 shows different min/max values of 4/16. If I find the time I will verify this and install Vue6.

Usually when working on a scene, I often save it under a different name. I have done this with a scene which contains a lot of plants painted in 3D View with the "Paint Ecosystem" feature. Without doing a modification to the plants, one of the scene versions contain far more smaller plants.

The worst thing happend yesterday: A complex scene rendered with the standalone renderer has finished after 24hours. At the moment the renderer saves the file to disk, it runs out of memory and I end up with a 0 byte picture. Re-rendering the scene with lower settings finished without problems.

It would be a reals great feature, if Vue would only let you render resolutions which it can handle.
