ok so i made a portrait, just 1024x768 shading 0.2, raytrace bounces 3, textures all 1024, 2 lights, no IBL takes 1 hour to do forehead, ok reasonable maybe i goto bed shortly after i saw it was doing the bucket that the right eye (all of it) was in 8 hours (about) later, i come back, the eye didn't show yet figure 8 hours should've been enough, thought poser froze so i sit down to consider cancelling, and my cursor is RIGHT ON the cancel button, when the eye shows up! almost 9 hours wasted :x eeep the corneas have nodes for reflection and spec iriss have the same (testing an idea with reflect) along with some nodes connected to ambient (another test) eyewhites also reflect, with a few nodes for noise so....WHY does it take 8 hours on the damn eye? not much different than a plain mirror really normally i don't care what the time cost, as long as the end result gets more realism, but damn x_x
