Help with Spot Rendering

Hey,

I'm quite new here and have recently had some problems with my Spot Rendering. I've been searching for someone having the same issue for a while now, but to no avail.

This is a little hard to explain, so bear with me. I've recently bought Victoria 6 HD and Olympia and I use UberEnvironment 2 a lot in my scenes. Now, the problem is, when I've set out my scene and want a quick preview of my lighting, I grab a spot from the Spot Render tool. Everything all loads up fine around the model, but when it starts getting anywhere near V6's skin, it stops immediately on a percentage, and literally loads for AGES. Now before you say "turn down your render settings", after it's loaded for a ridiculous amount of time, it suddenly kicks in and loads the render pretty quickly. This "freeze" intensifies when I use UberEnvironment, but is still pretty long without it. I have a very beefy computer and a beefy GPU. Has anyone ever experienced this? It's extremely frustrating as this happens even if I spot render the tiniest bit of her skin, it has the MASSIVE pause/freeze then renders. This seems to happen with most of my models, and it sucks! :(

Could anyone help me? I know it might be confusing! I've tried lowering my render settings but the freeze still occurs then loads out a bad render on the worst settings. This definitely shouldn't be happening.

    It is a Combo of the Uber lighting and the HD morphs, my Beefy sys does the same thing. It takes time to calculate the shader based lighting and the HD morphs. The closer the image or higher the render settings the longer the calculations will take. Once done the display will fill pretty fast.

    Thanks for your reply! So is there any workaround for this? Or do I just have to stop using the V6 HD and Olympia that I purchased? :( I can't be waiting 15-20 minutes to render a tiny bit of her.

    That of course is up to you. On my PC a full HD render does not take all that much longer than some spot renders. It depends on the scene and other factors. Such as transmapped hair and reflections.

    EDIT: Be forewarned I do have a rather powerful PC. i7 Hex running 12 cores at 3.33mhz with 64Gb of Ram.
