I've about given up on Vue as a major player for this project. It's pretty, but it's just too damn slow. This project is in HDTV 720p resolution: 1280×720.
I figure that high resolution frames will take on the order of an hour (or more) per frame. That means 60 seconds of animation translates into 75 days of render time. I don't have that kind of time.
In other news, I'm still waiting on the producer to get all the information together so I can really get started. He was flying up to Salt Lake City on the 23rd, to meet with the government liaison and the project geologist, but that's now been pushed back to the 25th. It's only two days, but the start date keeps sliding backwards a bit at a time, and the delivery date, mid-July, doesn't move at all.
I hate waiting.

There are a couple of render farms that support Vue which might be one way to get your project out the door in less than 75 days. I'd also take a real hard look at your render settings. For animation you may be able to cut back on some of them without really affecting the final outcome and there are quite a few animation tricks that work as well in Vue as they do in other software.
I'll keep that in mind, sir. But, even with everything turned down and tricked and tweaked, Vue is just slow. It does what it does very well, I'm just going to have to limit how much of it I do.
Well good luck and if you need any help you can drop me an e-mail. If I don't know the answer I may know who to ask.
