Ok, so I figured something out. It's not the model I'm rendering or the
radiosity settings that are taking forever, POV is hanging on _one_ part. A
1x2x3 panel. It was clear in my first attempt, so I changed it to white
(Color15). Still hangs on radiosity, so I turned radiosity off. It instantly
rendered the top of the model, when it got to that _one part_ it hung,
exactly in the same place as it did with radiosity on.

Has anyone else had problems rendering a 1x2x3 panel? I'd apprecaite all the
help I can get... I've got a deadline for the final render, and this is only
a test! Thanks!

that usually take about 3 hours to complete.

As of now its been 3:40 on this render, and it's still in the stage of
rendering large blocks. This image contains a small MOC and a minifig, one
transparent element and two chrome elements (coins). I would expect it to be
hung up like this when rendering the fine quality final image, but it's
still rendering blocky in the first couple passes! Is there a way to turn
these first passes off, as they seem to have nothing to do with the final
image? Please help, thanks!!

Your post made me curious so I rendered a image using that part. I had the part in combinations of by itself and with a minifig, solid and transparent, and with and without radiosity. I also rendered with and without the LGEO library. Other than (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
