Brian, my machine "reawakened" and continued into the rendering just as I was
sending you the first message. At any rate, the progress bar didn't move in the
"Transforming Objects" dialogue for a good 20 minutes.
What's going on?
Rich,
you have a pretty big scene for only 32mb RAM. I should imagine that it's just
a lot of work to compute that much, and you may be swapping. Do you have
instances and/or large texture maps too?
No instances, but yes, large texture maps. Turned out it was the power.exe
file, though. Another 32MB of ram is next on the list-so many things to buy, so
little time, so little money!
