>> Thanks for your advice, but to tell you the truth, it makes a huge difference in Rendering time. We are currently using a 486/66 with 128 MB of RAM. Rendering the whole model in one pass causes the computer to begin to swap to disk. This means 1 to 1.5 weeks of rendering time. Done in parts, it takes about an hour and a half or two per section, for a total of less than a day. (Right now, more like two days because of the screw ups we are trying to avoid) Thanks again. << 1.5 weeks vs 2 hours! That's quite a differential. Have you looked at using similar overlapping cameras to get your sections? Terry Gilbert Forcade & Associates
