Quote - I have Poser Pro 2014 running on an i7 quad core with 16 GB of RAM. Yesterday, I started a render with two characters and DOF. 14 hours later, it's about halfway through precalculating subsurface scattering . . .

I hate long renders, too. But in this case, I really wanted DOF 'cause it makes the scene look better. I'll be leaving for work soon, so my computer will be rendering all day long.

If you have Photoshop, you can do Depth-of-field in postwork if you output a z-map. The only trick is you want to turn off the post-filtering (or minimize it), otherwise there will be "haloing" around the figures since the z-map (or depth-map) isn't filtered.
