Quote - 64 bits and RAM are just about making it possible to fit a given scene in memory. By themselves they do nothing for speed. The number of CPU cores is what affects speed. With one or two cores it takes a long time to render anything. With 4 or 8 cores the times are substanstially lower.
When using LuxRender I found that it takes a lot less time to adjust the scene's lighting. So the final balance of time, for me, is actually in favor or LuxRender.
Cheers.
8 cores is what we are running currently.
And it still takes a huge amount of time.
I have played with the settings but....still a rough ride.
THOUGH as I have said, I have seen spectacular results from people using it.
its just the time factor for me.
