I have the demo version of Vue6 and the book Vue6 Revealed. I am experimenting with the program trying to decide if I want to get into it. I currently use Photoshop CS2 and Rhino3D and would like to expand my creative horizons. But I am somewhat concerned about rendering times required for Vue that I have seen in other posts. I have a DELL XPS, 3 MHZ processor, 1 gig of RAM and a decent video card with 128 MB of RAM.  I would like to be able to make good prints up to 11x14 at 300 dpi. Am I facing really long rendering times? I know it depends of the complexity of the image but I can't tie up my computer for days for a render. Overnight ( 12-14 hours) would probably be my limit.
Is this a reasonable expectation? Should I consider a different program? I really like what I have seen but, as I said, can't tie up my computer for that amount of time.
Thanks for your feedback.
