i dint understand your problem. is teh file to large? do you gett an error? render to slow?

I have the file of above file size.
Whenever I click the rendering the image, it starts giving me the error of no disk space in temp folder.
Phisical memory ends and virtual memory goes above the 1 gb and scene cannot be rendered probperly so many black marks come and render get lost.
Reply asap.

So, you can try hiding some of the things in your scene and render / render by region. Then, compile all the 'parts' in Photoshop or any other image editing software.

Thanks.

its now you might want to render passes. and compile them togheter. or do as need_help says. render regions.

and as he says try not to have unnessesary meshes inn the scene if it will not show in the render. alsow turn down smoothings. items far back inn a scene rarly needs any smoothing.

how much ram do you gott on your computer btw?
