I too was wondering about the render times....... Honestly, I dont know enough about the settings, so I dont bother them "much"... The image does have/use 2 lights, both are using soft shadows, and the materials do have "some" reflection, but not much (anyway, these are concerns that a Brycer would worry about right? Not someone using C5Pro eh :P)...

Anyway, my antialiasing is set to fast, object accuracy is 2, and shadow at 4 (these were/are the default settings mind you)... Again, I dont finagle much w/ the render settings, not even using improved edges...

Now, I loaded the file through the batch que, and even set a file name for it, hoping this will be better. Its rendering now, at the 40"x30" at 300 dpi size. When/if it fails again, i will post where it stops...

I think its necessary to render at this size for many reasons... I like having a nice "solid" file to archive, and I can always go smaller (but never larger), and just in case I want to do some post work touch ups on it later, itll be ready.

Lets see how it goes........................

Thanks again.
