Canyon WIP

Thanks a lot for the replies 

The water is the main culprit for the long render time. Its about 10 hours down to the water, and im guessing about 40 for the water. I will give the masking of the water a go when i get my computer back, in about a week. Also, i havnt had much experience with GI, but do you think i should have GI surface details unchecked for this render? Thanks again.

On my old machine, a P4, the GI does not bog things down too much. I would not set the render samples for GI more than 2 and 4.

Yes, uncheck GI Surface details. Only needed for real close-up work. Have a look at the sticky on Render Setting recommendations in the Discussion Forum.
