Why does the visible bevels option take so long? I rendered for 16 hours with bevels on my SSD. It was going 1% / 3 hrs before I quit. I turned off bevels and it fully rendered in 90 minutes!

Thanks for the link! And you're right, it does take days. I was more shocked at the memory usage. My machine's fairly decent and there were times when the screen just went black for long stretches.

This is the best render I could do so far. It's only 800x600 res but took up 4.5 Gigs of RAM + 4 Hrs render time!

Sure, Lego Otaku! Where can I send you the file?

Hey all! I finally decided to get back into Lego after a long four year break (I was in prison). I guess some things in life really are in your blood (at the moment, it's alcohol). My specialty is insane, massive Star Wars projects. Some of you may have seen my work before (See dolphin below). IT'S A TRAP!... OUR CRUISERS CAN'T REPEL FIREPOWER OF THAT MAGNITUDE!... I WANT PRINCESS LEIA'S HAND DOWN MY PANTS! (Wait, was that line in the movie?) I'm currently working on a project 4X bigger which I hope to construct (God willing) at some point in the near future. But in the meantime, I am still wrapping up the design phase. Specifically, rendering, which has become a problem at 71,000 pieces! Anyway, I heard good things about the people here, so I thought I'd sign up. So long for now, and Happy Holidays!

I also had crash problems when designing my 13-foot Super Star Destroyer. After 41,200, LDD could take no more. I had to design the rest of the monster in halves. Each half containing 35,500 pieces. On that note, I'm having problems rendering this leviathan. If anyone's a rendering pro, I'd greatly appreciate some help!
