Haukevinge - thanks for your reply, and hopefully in a couple of days I won't need to worry about running time.

Most of the time I'm rendering my images as 1024x1268 at 300 dpi. as fpr the planes, as for the lights I'm using 2 vray lights in stead of omni lights.

Actually now looking at using planes to give the studio effect but I'm having some trouble understanding vray lights at dome setting and vray light material planes. up to know mycars have came out alright, but I'm stil tring to find the right car body material and scene setup to may my car look as if it was real.

oh well, as long as the modeling is good whop carea about realism.

by the way does vray 1.5 work for max 7? Also I've read that some of you are saying not to use any hdri for your studio setup then what are you suppose to use for the material enviroment.
