As others have told you, the clear pieces take 'forever' to render. What you
_can_ do, without changing the model, is changing the POVRay 'quality' level
(not to be confused with the L3P 'QUAL' setting).
You can test this by selecting 'Render', 'Edit Settings/Render' and enter
+Q7 in the 'Command line options:' box in POVRay.
Q7 means that POVRay doesn't render reflections and refractions, so it's
faster than the default (Q9), but, of course, not as beautiful. But to get a
first impression it's quite OK.
From the manual, with my example timings for a little 640x480 AA 0.3 scene:
0,1 - Just show quick colors. Use full ambient lighting only. (7s)
2,3 - Show specified diffuse and ambient light.
4 - Render shadows, but no extended lights.
5 - Render shadows, including extended lights.
6,7 - Compute texture patterns. (19s)
8 - Compute reflected, refracted, and transmitted rays.
9 - Compute media (Default setting) (44s)
10 - Compute radiosity but no media
11 - Compute radiosity and media
As a side note, I usually use a custom setting for my final pictures, I've
added the following to my QUICKRES.INI:
[800x600, AA 0.1, Adaptive]
Width=800
Height=600
Antialias=On
Antialias_Threshold=0.1
Antialias_Depth=3
Sampling_Method=2
Using this setting for the same scene takes 2 minutes 44 seconds! but the
picture quality is worth it IMO.
Hope this helps,
