I'm going to start the render before work tomorrow.
I really don't like leaving the PC on while I'm out (fire risk etc.) but I really want this one.
Maybe the Poser import stuffed things up.
I work from 6:30 to 4:30 (I'm a teacher), so that should do most of it.
As for 12 hours being big, it is for me. Three or four is my usual, if that.
I also agree that Vue is usually a peaceful experience, in fact I love this program.
