I really like your scenes in general, especially for the expressions. This scene is hard to enjoy, because of the performance. I really got quiete a strong machine, but even when i turn off the other people, i dont get more the 30 frames (already using ssw). Is there something you can do, to improve the performance?
As for the cutting it to parts, sadly the stage sequence alone needs 9 lights to look like in the screenshots.
When you add other assets, the environment, soft body physics of the female, other models and the menus... It's just bound to be heavy on performance.
