There are a couple of portrait renders in my gallery that took 90 minutes and 60 minutes which I would regard as acceptable for what would have been a Firefly render. The render times are therefore very dependant on the scene. I also did a render of a glass chess set in around 30 minutes, no reflections as such (nothing to reflect) but the glass material was, in my opnion, better than Firefly would have produced in a similar time.
I understand the concentration on the render times but not so much is said about the ablilty to change exposure and colour temaperature along with a load of other stuff, during the render. Or the fact you can see a full, if noisy, render within the first minute or so, you can suspend the render and resume it days or weeks later.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
