You using 4.11?
Yep

Your render settings are way over the top, no wonder it takes ages.
Also, extreme closeups like this always need more time.
This is just a tiny part of the image, no close-up

I guess the quality looks great already, this is much better than real photographs in that size. Question is just how it can be at 0% at all. Like a bug in the 4.11 beta, etc

Ah yes, I see it now. But still, try to lower your settings, especially the render quality.
Have a look at my latest renders posted here, they're all at default progressive settings. You really don't need that much.

Not going to say I know the problem, but I have had the progress bar in 4.11 bug out for me. If I do a 4K render, it sometimes hangs up at a certain percentage and then completes out of nowhere. Never got stuck at 0% tho.

Yeah i guess this high render quality is overkill at >4K resolution. Though turning it down to default will probably look at lot worse even at 100% convergence.

Definitely seems like a bug, yes. Well the timer is set to 8 hours, we'll see soon.

Lovely skin-is that based on ecVh0's IRAY Pale Skin Shader?

I thought you cant get 100% convergence. I thought the max you should set it to is 99.9%. That might be your issue.

That depends. If the textures are good you can get great results at default:

8k, default settings, 2 hours rendering, 95%. The hdri in the background (the hills) is only 2k, thats why they look a bit shitty.

At 100% Iray wont ever stop rendering (literaly). I don't remember why, but there are several threads about it in the nvidia iray and daz forums where you can read about this.

@kaboomer69

Well you got god ray wich take time with a high resolution + the emissives of the flames, if you don't have acces to Pixar or Disney technologies you should render each effect alone then merge them in photoshop
