Quote - > Quote - I'm just getting started with both the plugin and the renderer.  My first render was taking a long time so I abandon it.  Is the Luxrender slower than the Poser Firefly renderer?

Much slower. The tradeoff is that a Luxrender render is much more realistic. Unbiased renderers are typically much slower but deliver much better results.

 

Depending on your lighting, some renders take longer than others. It also depends on your processor and ram. From what you posted, you should have plenty of both.

In Luxrender, outdoor images don't take nearly as long as images with lots of shadow.

Thank you - I'll be more patient now I know - wasn't sure if the renderer was working correctly
