Quote - p.s. each individual frame might take 400 minutes to render, but with 100 machines in parallel, that's a net rate of 4 minutes per frame.

 

i haven't even been ABLE to pass 400 minutes/frame, with full scenes, which i can easily see pixar having the render farm to do it with ;p but with carrara i've never got that high hehe

i keep my scenes to about 60 seconds time per frame on a P4 3.0ghz (then network render to cut the time), and using carrara5 for the renderer
