Well the pic is way to large, filled with way too many props figures trans/texture maps, to ever attempt to render in one shot.  So I set it up to render multiple passes and composite it all together in post.

However the render in question contains 1 V3 figure with a base texture map, 3 props, 1 conforming clothing figure, and 1 hair figure with trans and text mapping.  1 M3 figure with a base texture map, 1 prop, and 2 conforming clothing figures. 3 plant props with texture mapping, no trans.  and 3 vine figures with texture mapping, no trans.

There are 4 lights, 2 global and 2 spot.  Rendered at 2500x2200, at 2500 dpi, using raytrace with bumps, and smoothing turned on.

But as sayed earlier I dropped M3 and vines and it all rendered fine, rendered the rest in other passes and worked it all out in PS.  If anyone cares to take a shot at identifying the problem anyway though, thats the render info.  Thanks gang for all the suggestions and help.
