I don't understand what you mean by **"**with the setting in the render engine 3rd from the last ", and I don't know the size of the frames, but anyway you're referring to just over 80 seconds per frame, which is not that much for a decent Poser render anyway.

Animations, HD or DVD image quality, IDL lighting and elaborated reflections / refractions mixed together make a requirement for massive CPU power (or long render times).
Which is why I'm running a 12-thread @ 4Ghz machine, which is 270% faster compared to your 8-thread @ 2.2Ghz.

And I tend to chop my renders into portions which make it overnight. Or as a low priority queued proced in the background. And I render 'shot by shot', in separate images even. Modern fast paced animations never have shots longer that 2-4 seconds. Then I glue them together in a video tool.

Just my 2 cents.

@anupaum: nice work!!

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
