He everyone, I recently purchased Vue 6 Pro Studio. I'm using a MacPro with 16 gigs of memory. Despite all this RAM, my single frame scene takes over 3 hours to render using the "Final" render option, and that's not even full screen. This is frustrating because ultimately this scene is to be a 10 sec. animation. Other posts I've read imply that 4 gigs of RAM is optimal, compared to less, so why isn't 16 gigs much much better. Is there such thing as a RAM limit? Right now the scene is a single terrain, with a multilayered material. I've placing groupings of trees, rocks, and other plants manually, as the ecosystem method populate more of the landscape than I need for this shot, and I've imported a simple tipi model from Cinema 4D. There are well over 39 million polygons, this is a lot I know, but my scene doesn't seem any more complex that any of the spectacular work by other Vue artists I've seen. Thanks for any help Brian
