This is in a different category-animation rendering. I did an approx. 5 minute animation based music video in Bryce 3D. Total rendering time for the project... 1 year. (Didn't realize what I was getting myself into when I started it, that's for sure!) I used a second computer strictly for rendering, and programmed the animation on my main computer. (The animation was divided up into scenes typically 5-10 seconds long each). Since it took me a total of about 1 year to do all the programming for the video, the rendering worked out OK, since as one scene was rendering on my second computer, I was programming the next scene on my main computer. It was an extremely tedious project though, I must say... -Jake
