Re: Modelling/rendering issues...
Hi Kriss,
It is dificult to say what your problem is, but I will have a go.
I would say your computer spec. sounds sufficient to cope with most renders. Saying that max3d is a very powefull bit of software.
Are you using deplacement materials, these will slow down your computer a lot?
Also materials with reflection can slow thing lots.
Some of my more complex images have taken 24hrs or more to do a single frame render.
Are you using standard(scanline renderer) or something else like v-ray, If you use standard renderer and v-ray materials, you will have problems.
Can you tell me more about the scene you are trying to render?
I hope this has been of some help to you, please let me know how you get on.
Tiff
