Quote - DarkElegance, if you could quantify what "huge" is in terms of time, image resolution and number of samples then I might be able to address your needs more precisely. While it does take some time to get the images renderered, in my experience the time is not more than with other high-end renderers like Vue's once everything is cranked up to a similar level.
There are several ways rendering can be optimizewd, including the use of the Refine Brush.

the last one I worked on had one mesh light in it, v4, plain white walls and a floor(floor was flat black). V4 had abit of leather on her. At 24 hours...it was still far to grainy to be of any use. I continued to let it run and after 30+ hours...still no joy.
I did the same scene in poser and was a happy camper in under an hour.(the size was at 6000x5000)
I tried to use Reality for the bot piece I did and ....it just wasnt working. But I did get great results from poser in around 2 hours.

That was poser around 2 hours and no post. That piece I had light artifacts around the top part(around the red lights above the figure) and I posted in RDNA asking about "fireflys" but...was told they werent. To just let it keep rendering. But the light artifacts never went away nor did the grainy image.
That is only my personaly experience. I (again will say) Know it gives great results. I have seen them, one of my favorite artists uses it regularly and the results are boggling....The time frame is just not workable for me. If I could speed it up, I would use it, but....
