30 seconds per frame...I realize there aren't a lot of polygons in the scene, but that's still freaking unbelievable.  Do you know what his typical samples/pixel was?  And what hardware exactly?

Not too long ago he mentioned het had 2xGTX780i and 1xGTX680i in the machine.

He has not mentioned samples/pixels. But that varies depending on the materials in the scene itself. Some scenes are perfectly fine with 500 samples, others need 8000. 

 

Well, that explains it. :)

It's clearly a Victoria 4 model, looks like it has SSS and possibly falloff map applied to the skin.  On my PC, 30 seconds would probably give me 60-100 samples/pixel at that resolution, so I was wondering what he got...I'm guessing more than 60-100 ;)
