Well, I guess there's no way around it. From the sound of it, it's normal to have renders that last several hours, if not days. Do you leave your computer running for the whole time? Another question involves demo-reels. If all you do is 3d models and scenes, what sort of demo-reel can you do with just still images? The reason I'm asking is that I'm planning on looking for work in Hollywood later this year. Bob
