not long, couple of hours or so at 1500 x 1500-interior+, the last one I just left overnight. My renders are slow because I am using windows through my mac...only half the power really. I added more light to speed up the render, using just hdri alone can be quite slow with progressive settings and the reflections weren't great.

cheers, stainless is very difficult to get right, there are lots of different grades and types of polish :wall:

indeed! people ask "can I get a stainless steel material"? and my response to say at first is... "which one?" but I know they don't want that answer. :lol:
it's like asking for an "Italian Chair", or have you ever tried to pick a White paint???
