     So far my renders for this image have gotten up ~33 hours and then dimension quits working;  there are no errors but apple's activity monitor show the CPU is back to about 93% idle and the render clock keeps ticking... but no progress. 

     I am looking to export the images as large as possible to the raise the dpi in Photoshop so I am exporting on High at 1125x2500 and the image has lots of translucent material and complex reflections so I'm not expecting speedy results, but I do want resultsDo I need a more powerful computer (tech specs below)? -- Sorry, I did not save samples of the process when rendering stopped, but I am currently rendering another of the same image (low @ ~700x1000) and it looks poised to fail. LMK if ya need more deets, thank you kindly!!!!

This is where rendering halted;

This is a snap of the image I am tying to create;

Tech Specs:

New render;  low @ 700x1000

Current render time...

Correct answer JeanetteMathews

Technically he is not misunderstanding it.  The terms of agreement clearly state that Prerelease Builds are for testing purposes and you cannot do public, commercial work with those builds.  IE, you cannot use a Prerelease build for your commercial projects.

That said, this is not enforced in any way and we openly invite all of our partners to use Dimension Prerelease without regard for whether it's for commercial work or not.  We DO ask that you don't talk about prerelease features.  You can share you work as long as it doesn't implicitly say that you created something with a beta/prerelease feature.  IE if we had a new 3D text tool you could render it and share that image, but you couldn't confirm that you created the 3D text in Dimension.  You'd have to leave that ambiguous.  Probably not the legally correct answer, but it's how it is in practice.

I have killed rendors as well... imo your best chance is to use the prerelease build
