Hi Vesa, To render the scenes I am currently dealing with, the improvement would need to be in the region of 7 times faster to make them commercially viable. Obviously we will be increasing the size of our render farm as we can afford to do so, but in the meantime we will just have to limit or exclude the use of displacement mapping. The difference with displacement disabled compared to the same scene with it enabled, is in the region of 25 times faster, which I think you will agree is a huge difference.
