Here`s a rough list of the settings that I`m using & I`ve realised (too late) where I went wrong... BIG STYLE!!!
System spec`s:
XPPro
AMD Sempron 2600+ (1.8GHz)
768MB ram
GForce 7600GS
<render
name = "Full Render"
800*600
detail = "1"
anti-aliasing = "3"
GI not activated
do_ray_traced_shadows = "1"
soft_clip_effect = "1"
soft_clip_softness = "1"
compensate_soft_clip = "1"
and the error... BIG WHOOPS!!!
Just noticed this setting`s WAAAY too high.
>Cloud
Number of samples = "384"
As for the image, after 70 hours & many minutes...
I had to stop it.
Needed the computer for a few jobs which had to be done & away for a couple of days.
Shame there`s no way to restart it even after a switch off, but I live & learn (I hope!!).
I`ll start again, with less samples
, when I`ve the chance.
Just about to add the .tgc to the cloud library.
Enjoy.
P.S. How`s this for a strange cloud setting?...(I`ll send this to the library too).
