To come over and practice our dance moves
I tried to animate these two in iray with two lights. The skin on these old v4 characters looked worse in iray. The render time was around eight hours for one second of animation!!!

Well rendered joe!!
If you want to do animations, especially with high-quality render engines, you need a monster of a machine or a render farm. Otherwise be ready to wait days/weeks for it to finish. This still looks pretty good though.
I can't do any new pictures with all the time rendering animations. I might have to get a new computer just for rendering animations!
Delightful!
LOL nice
I just do not use any old skin mats. SSS has spoiled me. great poses
I have no experience with animations, but my understanding of iray is that it is GPU bound. My old pc din't have a GPU that was compatible with iray, so it only used the CPU i had to wait a lot. But the problem now is, where to find a powerful GPU that is affordable. Wish you luck.
computers haven't seemed to get better since I bought mine four years ago
Nicely done, my friend. Yep - Animation is a whole new ball game..
For animation, I render just the background as one "layer". Then set up the actors in that background which is now 2D not 3D. Delete the 2D background from the scene. Just render the actors "layer" of animation. I might do one more "layer" to place something in the foreground for more depth. That would be my third layer.
I then composite the three layers in my movie editor. I use either Adobe After Effects or Final Cut Pro but whatever you have should work just as well. Hopefully it handles Alpha Key or greenscreen well.
Your render time drops to just one instance of, what? 18 minutes to 4 hours for just the background. The people are rendered in about 4 minutes per person per frame depending on how much space the actor takes up in the frame.
At 24fps its about 96 minutes to render one second.
Good advice nice to see you here
