rendering too long

dannagiusy64

I'm doing a rendering without animation that has been going on for over 21 hours and 13% is missing to finish. It's normal? Will not the computer be damaged?

Whether or not it's normal will depend on the contents of the render, and the render settings. Assuming this is iray in Daz Studio, interiors tend to take a long time unless you are very careful with the lighting (both because it may take a while for enough light to bounce into obstructed corners for the image to covnerge there, while the fact that the space is enclosed, especially if there are a lot of shiny surfaces, allows a single light path to make many bounces and so increase the calculation time for each compared to an open scene; on the other hand, a figure standing in the open lit by Sun/Sky or an HDR image (such as the default Ruins) wouldn't usually take that long.
