AccuRender nXt

I was wondering if there is a maximum sketchup model size that is allowed for rendering? I have a model that is not a very complex model in itself, but not simple either, but the file size jumps WAY up when i apply photos to large planes in the background to achieve a simulated view through the windows...

I do not know a whole lot about it, but have seen it done with other programs, and was wondering if there was a way to utilize 2 or more computers networked together to render images at a faster rate. Thanks.

This image was created with the Caustic material setting in IRender nXt. A caustic is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that envelope of rays on another surface. The Caustic effect produces focused light and shadow effects from a point...

A Daylight Portal is a special transparent face placed over an exterior opening or window which causes exterior light to be processed better. In IRender nXt, Daylight is a set using the Material Wizard Sky only This image was rendered for just 1 pass with ordinary openings on the left and Daylight Portals...

This is the effect of indirect lighting. Here is a rendering of a room from...

This is a salt and pepper shaker from the 3D Warehouse, rendered with IRender nXt. The new IRender nXt version allows procedural bump maps from the nXt material editor, I placed a "Pyramid" bump on the Salt Shaker, and a "Sandpaper" bump on the pepper. We will all need to play with...
