Simply Fascinating

First image of 2016.

I tried my hand at Poser Pro 11's new  render engine Superfly using GPU rendering.. I have a very long way to go and learn how it all works.

The original size of this image which was 3500x3500 took over 4 days to render out any grain.  Granted I only have one  GeForce GTX 970 card . Along with 24 gig of memory.

I set my pixel samples at 70 , with progressive refinement checked.  So not sure if my settings were right either.. I am hoping those who are proficient with this new engine can offer some tips.. 

oh , and one other question that may sound stupid.. is it even possible to render without that construct in Superfly?  I tried and all my images when placed into Photoshop came out half transparent with a lot of tiny holes in them. I am assuming it is needed for the proper light sources to work.

I' have tried following along at some places who are offering what they find, but I am not knowledgeable in half of what they were saying.. so any advice would be appreciated.
