    Yes, some animations can take quite a long time. The worst case I ever experienced was 8 hours on a dual PIII/Xeon 600 for 12 frames of a DNA animation. Is it just taking a long time or completely hung? That can happen on some geometry.

    If you're working with text, try removing bevels. Try simpler geometry and render only one frame to begin with. That will give you an idea of the shading results and render time before you begin a complete animation.

    good luck and post your stuff when it's finished.
