Turning down the anti-aliasing and ray-tracing cuts down time significantly, but it will lower the quality of the picture. Of course, if you have access to a higher powered computer that helps too. I rendered a picture of my team's robot with all the quality options turned up in Autodesk Inventor on a computer with monstrous specs and it still took 5 and a half hours. I wish you luck!
