Rendering Image

[glorybound]

I'm rendering along fine, getting good render times, and BAM! Now, my scene is getting worse , and worse, as time goes by. First, I was getting strange noise, then these big orbs, now I have all my buckets sitting there, but my estimated render time keeps climbing. The only thing I was doing was, stopping, nudging stuff around, and starting the render again. I rebooted MAX and merged everything into a blank scene, but nothing is getting better. I am working remotely so, rebooting my machine is risky, and this is due in the morning. And yes, rendering with a meta rial override does the same thing. Any clues?

Okay. I rebooted successfully and it's now rendering.
