Dual xeon 3GHz, 2GB ram. It would be a useful test if you let me have the textures that you used so I can see how things turn out. I often wonder if using bitmaps affects render times at all. What do you think?

[blinkimage]

Its funny how often things look far more appealing if they are very subdued in colour. I suppose its playing 'safe'.

Pity thats not normally what our clients want (or design!)

Quite dark though.

what's your setup goncalo?

[GoncaloP]

The first image I ve posted have a different setup, I didnt use photon map and any lights, all materails were full reflective with glossi reflections, and tooked much more time to render.

But in this one you can increase the Secondary depth to 5 or 8 and the multiplier to 0.6 or so...

Goncalo could you please post the screen of your fastest settings. I use max5 and your files do not work with it
And it would be good to see the settings for xeon from blinkimage

Hi. I tested your scene with photons and here is the result at my old web site

My PC is simple P4 2,4 GHz 512 mb memory
In the same time 2 pictures were under rendering on my PC and I think it could be about 20 minutes if my PC is free
Look at the shadows under the shelf.
