Hey. When I am rendering my object (its a crumpled sphere, with no HyperNURBS) the first 1/2 or 1/3 goes by in less than 10 seconds and then it stops suddenly goes maybe another cm and then stop altogether. It hasn't frozen becuase I can scroll down that and edit it some more, it has just stopped rendering. Does anybody know what the problem is? I left it alone for 2:40 minutes and came back and it hadn't moved at all. Any advice?...thanks!

usually a render engine will render very fast when it's not doing huge calculations, then slow down to render things like transparency, reflections and slow down even more for caustics etc...

Look carefully at your scene and locate anything that might be requiring resources from the render engine in that part of the render.
