i do my artwork on the only computer i have, which is a laptop... the graphics card that came with it isn't very good, so i'm quite limited in what i can render. i was playing around recently with shadows and lighting effects to see if i could get something a bit more realistic. i wasn't sure if my computer could handle it. well, it did finally render with the shadows (the first image below), but it took something like 55 minutes to do the render! in contrast, the second image is my normal lighting/shadows settings, which took only 2-1/2 minutes to render. the first one is definitely more realistic and does look a lot better, but i don't know if it's worth an additional 50+ minutes per image in order to get the effect. what do you think?
