About how long does it take to do an average rendering with most of the rendering options being used in the picture? Thanks, Daniel

>> About how long does it take to do an average rendering with most of the rendering options being used in the picture? << Daniel, Thats really a question that cannot be answered. There are many vaiables. How fast a machine are we talking about? How many light sources (shadow casting or not), how reflective is the scene, how much refraction in the scene, how many objects, how many procedural textures, how complex a scene, any special effects, Ray Tracing or Scanline? No two scenes are alike. I've had ray-traces done in minutes, and others done in a 2-3 hours. There really is no way to answer it, unless there is some type of reference scene. -GreG
