Hi All,

  The other day I put together a test render of a model I am making and I put together what I thought was a simple scene.  However, with the addition of the Global Radiosity & Reflections it took 12 hours to render.

  The machine I did this on is a liquid cooled AMD 64FX with 2GB RAM and a Quad-SLI video system with 1GB RAM.  Is 12 hours normal?

  I tried doing another scene that I thought was complex (and it was) and at 1% the timer said I had another 700+ hours to go.  Yikes!

  Is there a better answer?  I love Vue 6 Extreem but I want things to be able to render in my lifetime.

Thanks,

John
