damn I just came back to render station , and poum my render.. pc was at desktop, max down, no error message... what the... now if that doesn't smell bad... damned...
thanks for your comments branko, yeah frosted glass is gonna be a pain, but i need it, it's part of my idea since some stuff is yet to come on that big "leaf" :-)
Frosted glass is a pain, but vegetation will be much worse, it dramatically increased my interior rendertime, not allowing me to put characters, postprod etc...
nb: i took a day off

busy tomorrow morning with some paper stuff, but afternoon I hope I can finish and launch render... which eventually isn't gonna put me back to desktop without warnings...
