Last night I tried to render my 1st scene of a project Im doing for college. I left it running at 11pm, and when I woke at 7am it had only rendered 90 frames of the 210 - I thought this was rather slow - am I right ? The scene was two characters with camera movement only, I was using the firefly render engine using the cinepac codec. This was on my laptop, Im thinking I might need to borrow my folks base unit and using it purely for rendering - does anyone have any experience on this ? Cheers Chris
