Last night I was experiencing some issues. Super long delays before each frame started rendering, and the rendering itself was painfully slow. 17 minutes per frame.
I submitted some bug reports and heard back from Lightwave support this morning. Now I made some changes and I'm getting a frame done every 1.5 minutes. Now we're cookin'! It will slow down a bit as Maria gets closer to the camera, but nothing close to 17 minutes slow.
Here's a look at the first frame. Now all I can do is wait. :D
