I am working on a large chain link fence in TS 6.6 - I found a texture and have the transparency, but it is brutally long in even the smallest render. Any idea why? TS usually renders other scene quite quickly, but this transparency seems a lot longer. Also, I thought I remember there being a chain link texture (factory) that came with TS? yes?

Off-hand, without seeing how you have set up the texture, I would guess you have multiple-light sources and shadow-maps enabled. Either that or you have a very deep heirarchy going on which tS doesnt like very much. For future reference, you should always try and post a couple of screen grabs showing as much info/panels as possible as some problems can be quite complex to track down. In addition, you may well find you'll get a better/quicker response to any problems your having by posting them in the TechForum as that is where these things are normally addressed/discussed.
