I used adobe cs3 ext to make the jpg,as you have said BMP was so large it would take way to long.

Skylab is going to be next.Then we will see.

thanks

One thing I would add: you probable are experiencing long render times already with this piece due to a high polygon count among other things. There are several things that will add a lot of time to the render process. Extra lights in your scene is another big render time, as well as complex textures.

For a scene like yours, I think it is best to have only the natural lighting of the Sun. If you want to add extra lighting, make it few in number and set the intensity down quite low. I use the Render in Scene option in the Skylab and the Light editor lab to get a fair idea of what my changes are doing to the scene. This is accessible by clicking the small triangle at the bottom of the preview window in those labs. That way I don't have to exit the lab until I have something I think will work the way I want. Also, if the preview in the lab takes several seconds or more to render, that is a clear indicator that the render time for the actual scene will be very long.

Stay awesome!
