The number of polygons is not an issue in Vue. I have created extremely complex objects in other programs that sometime have tens of millions of polygons.

I've never encountered any problem importing any of them into Vue.

Thanks for the reply!

I will look into DAZ again. I used to use it a long time ago before Vue came along.

Longest - 80+ hours for a large image that ended up as a 70x32 inch poster. I used a Mac - 400mhz. The scene file was over 100mb, had over 3600 objects and aprox 13 million polygons. Lots of weighty textures, large lattices and several light sources. I do a lot of large stuff for print and have to do foreground/background layers on many of them to get around memory size problems ( I only have 256mb on my machine). I do lots of compositing in photoshop. Q. Speaking of speed. I've heard that Vue deEsprit on Mac OS X uses smp and makes full use of the (Mac's) dual processors. Has any Mac users ou t here used it and given it a timing vs., say, OS 9? I hope Corel tweeks the next iteration of Bryce for Mac to do the same. We need to chop down these horrible rendering times!
