Quote - That piccie is amazing, Laurie. Wonder if the trees and ivy implied a longer render, or if that's just part of what Lux does handily. The image is so good, I'll wink at the spelling of reclamation (reclamation: the process of reclaiming something from loss or from a less useful condition) :biggrin:

It just occurred to me that I forgot to answer your first question...lol.

While the whole scene was practically choking Poser just to move around (lots and lots of polys in those trees), Luxrender chewed thru the render in less than an hour and a half ;) - quick for Luxrender. Then again, outdoor images are always faster in Luxrender than indoor images with indoor lighting. The shadows need MUCH longer to work the noise out.
