Just wondering....does it sound normal that the IR calculation (medium settings with Hsph Subdiv at 45) of a 600 frame (every 10th frame using multi-frame incremental) interior with vray and standard lights with vray shadows, and quite a bit of glossy reflections, takes 34 hours to calculate? Rendering at 720x576 using (3) computers, the computer estimates 115 hours! Yikes! I thnk the exterior IR calculation was around 3 hours. Maybe there was some setting I should have turned on.....especially for the glossy reflections? Or, does all this seem normal? For the rendering I am using Adaptive QMC 1-4 / Adpative amount 0,9 / Noise 0,005 / Min samples 8 / Global subdivs 1. Considering I still have another 600 frame interior to add to the animation, I do not think I will make the Wed. 28 June deadline!
