How long should it take to render

[dante]

Hello:

I am completely new to this. I got indigo up and running. I did a simple light element and glass plate sculpture thing in SU and it is still rendering 4 hours later. Everything is the default except the background is black. I am running it on a mix of things. The machine is the newer mac book pro with parallels running indigo. I know that it is slower then the have it dual boot. But 4 hours seems a little long. Any suggestions or I just should wait and see what will happen. attached in a screen shot. It just keeps on running. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Indigo is an unbiased renderer like Maxwell and Fryrender. By default, it will render until you tell it to stop. Depending on your system, resolution, and scene complexity, a 'clean' render may take from 30 minutes to 48+ hours. Most exterior scenes are clean in less than 2 hours. An interior render lit mainly by indirect light could take days to get rid of all the noise(again similar to Maxwell and Fryrender)

By default, your render is saved at regular intervals in the 'renders' directory of your indigo folder.

And...welcome to Indigo!

Thanks so much.

I did not know that you could view it at any time. I went to the render folder and got the image. I think it needs a more time. But, i looked at the .png file size and it is only 44 kb at 445 x 307. Is this right? It looks blurry not spotted. I would think it would be bigger?

Also, I have read what you have done with indigo, pretty impressive. If only I can make sure I am on the right track.

Thanks
