vray realistic lighting: Help with 100+ ies photometric lights

#1

Hi guys,

We would like your opinion on this situation:

We are working on a project with interior scenes having 100+ ies photometric lights; materials are mostly glass (opaque and transparent) mirror, and marble.

The client gave us the ies lights that we have to use and the final output should be realistic in terms of the lighting plan that they designed.

Output size is suitable for printing, A2 to A1.

Can you suggest an efficient setup without taking up 100+ rendering hours?

Our rigs: Quad 2 core, 8 mb ram, vcard: Radeon Force3D HD 4670.
Software: 3ds Max 2011 64bit, Vray 1.5

thanks

Thats going to be a problem with only 8 mb of ram :smiley:

Are you using only a single machine? Have you considered using an online rendering farm?
