CGarchitect.com - View Single Post - rendering a scene with reflective materials are killing me

i reduced everything to minimum, subdivision to 1, max rate to 0,

it is still same thing, I want to create a flyby animation of the building and I have a rendering farm at work but still 1 frame takes too long with all this reflection. I did it with Mental Ray and it was quick. Now I do same thing with Vray and it is taking forever, I can't imagine how long it would take with only one processor computer.

I think interpolation would be the only solution
MandelbrotJr,
Can you tell me what setting you would have ?

thanks guys.
