Quote - Do you guys have multiple PC's doing the render? I have a 8 core processor which still takes too long to render. I need to pump out commerical level renders in 8-10 minutes tops.

If you want high speed renders, Firefly is not the best choice. Firefly will do amazing renders, but not at what I would consider high speed.

To do high speed rendering, you really need two things in a render engine.

GPU rendering, and farmable buckets to other machines. Plan on spending a small fortune on the engine licenses, cpu boxes, and network to do it as well. 15 to 20k a box. Fiber network, etc...

That will give you 6400 stream processors with ATI FirePros, or 1792 Cuda cores with Quadros, per box. A scene that takes 10+ min on a cpu would take no time at all on a gpu network like that, as in seconds....

Then there is the electric bill that goes along with running all of that....
