How long does it take you to make 1 rendering?

it depends a lot on size of the image and shaders that I use.

Those first images, with the "light blue, milky glass" took about 10-15 minutes each to render.

When I changed to Fresnell Glazing, (although the pictures are larger I guess), it started taking about 30 minutes to render.

Some pics took as long as 1 hour to render, but I think the problem might be in my computer (low drive space on C:, etc) in some cases.

sensational

where is your '1st International Aces Trade Center (3D Model'? the link in your posts is broken

Both links in my signature are broken. The Gerdau thread at my signature is also broken, because its from a previous version of this tower, I had made at another program (not Sketchup). It was 100x less detailed, and the rendering was 100x worse.

Yes, I have the intention of creating a new 1st International Aces Trade Center at Sketchup, as detailed as this Gerdau tower, and as well rendered.

Here is a teaser of 1st IATC (rendered in the other program)

hmm... I'm sorry but I have to admit I don't like the IAC.

Not that it's ugly but it looks too much like the Gerdau Tower. The antenna, the glass color, make it looks similar to the Gerdau Tower. The tower it's self is nice but unless you make the G. and Aces C. a complex it would look too much like a rip off.
