Yeah... there has to be something wrong if that happens.

Monst likely crashed.

I'll share my setup if you want, mine took about... 1 hour per render.Yours would take moer, there are considerably more polys involved, but still, not all night :p

So yeah, if you want, Ill share my setup.

Cya later
