IIRC there was a benchmark scene going around back in the P5 or P6 Days.
But IMHO its not really a matter of a generic scene testing your rig
but each individual has to make his own determination of what is an acceptable time per frame for a quality animation renders with real lighting with shadows enabled& ray traced reflections etc.
Yes the preview renderer is fine for running tests and such but for final animation renders for paid jobs it is not acceptable to me at least. particulary since I render at HD resolution
And posers Firely has no true GI &just takes too long for quality renders for my needs and apparently many others needs as you never see any high quality HD animation renders done in poser firefly anywhere
online.
Cheers
