Finally managed to get P7 set up to do some complex scenes. This took a couple of hours to render.

Athlon Fx60, 2 Gig Ram.

Two hours!?! I'd hardly call that a "complex" scene, in fact with only one figure in it I'd call it simple. Is that the original render size? Because if it was, you are either using some terribly wasteful settings, or P7 sucks.

By way of comparison, here is a recent Poser <- 6 -> render of mine that has similar elements; a woman, a car, a dress, and a very high res 360 degree photo applied to a sphere to form the background. My PC has only 1 Gig of RAM and is 5 years old. This render took less than 10 minutes.

What the heck were your settings?

The Aston Martin is a very high-res mesh, apparently.

My settings were simply the standard firefly 'final' render settings at the resolution the image is. The roadster is a highly detailed model (in fact incredibly detailed, have a look at the material settings), and using a reflective material on the body work doesn't help when rendering at 'final' settings.

This image (without the reflective material) was much quicker (more like a few minutes)

Once that car model is in a scene, it's no longer a simple scene. In the attached image the selected portions of the car model (brake calipers, taillights, badge, inside doorhandles etc) have more polys in them than FIVE V2 figures. The obj file is 84 megs. For a prop, unbelievable.

EF were clearly asleep at the wheel on this one, including such a badly modelled car was not a smart way to show how well P7 performs. More a case of "Wanna see P7 brought to its knees?"

Let's see, should I buy a much bigger, faster computer? Or should I just delete the car? Tough decision... what to do? What to do?

I've used the car in one render, and I loaded it into the scene after V4 and her clothing, but before Sydney and her clothing.

Just having the car in the scene caused Poser to slow down, and that was well before I rendered.

I'm not going to use that car again unless I'm trying to waste hours and have nothing better to render.

Wow that's sounds so bogus about the car polys. That's too bad, because it sure looks good in these renders you posted tbird.
