Quote - Like you said we have LUX and I have been cranking fast renders the past few days just a few mesh lights. Like hair & foilage will slow down 3Dlight renders I am finding out its the amount of lights in LUX..

Interesting that you should mention the amount of lights with Lux. This morning I checked up on a 3 day render that was turning into a mess of noise which had very adequate light, or so I thought. I wanted to do a fog version, so I ended up killing it. Adding fog and my glass fix, I plugged in a spot for my fog effect and rearranged my mesh for an interior fill. The speed dropped like a rock, but my effeciency went from 115% to 610%! With an added bonus, this version looks better at 95 samples than the other did at 3.15k. I'm now finding that the amount of lights isn't as important as I once thought... Its the quality of the light, which makes perfect sense in Lux.
