Click for full-size - 716x654.

And yes, bigger dimensions means slower render - if you think about it if you double the dimensions you square the area so I'm guessing the render time would ramp up accordingly. What also has an effect is 'the geometry'. If you can cut down on stuff in the scene then the render engine will have less to worry about (the Reality plug-in has 'poses' to hide various body parts, including tongue, teeth, etc.). High levels of gloss will also drag out render times, and as Reality takes it's initial glossy setting from the DAZ material glossiness that can often be far too high. It's quicker and easier to do bulk glossiness setting changes in DAZ. Closing Reality and going back to DAZ to adjust stuff like is not an issue (so long as you have yet to set off the actual render) as Reality will remember any tweaks you have made thus far.

Fleet, so now you understand what a mini-comp is go knock 'en dead in the next one. we here will all be rooting/voting for you I's sure.

That is what I expected but what I have seen is that the progress more or less halts and the CPUs are down to a minimum load. There must be a limit of what you can do with 6GB RAM and I'm afraid I hit it with the poster several times.

Right, I have seen that glossy faces take a lot more time but thanks for the hint on hiding geometry. I thought these are culled by the renderer but then there must be a reason for the hiding features. Another thing to try. ;-)

apart from DAZ 3D Studio and poser any other software is there for creating 3D pornographic images?....

A camera and photoshop - if you're lucky

I have tried using camera and photoshop and found that we spent entirely too much time setting up the lighting and camera angles to make it worth while for us to continue with it!

All that effort for not a souvenir shot? i trust the model was well compensated

Hmm... I bet the camera and the lighting were just a pretext... The truth is that you were in a hurry for some other kind of shoot... you know, football (soccer)...
