how long to render you mean?

will you be using the paint method? or fur? To be honest one way or another, they both take long as eachother. I'd definately go for fur if you could.

Also depends how big, and what is on it. There are ways around it. For example making the ground LOOK big by shrinking the grass. If you made the grass HUGE, the geometry would look small, you see?


There is another way around it failing that.

Let me know how big and what its for and i'l be glad to help. The tutorial is almost complete. And the vid tutorial will be done ready later too.
