What a rogue, uncalled-for, hostile comment. A true disgrace.

I would like to observe that you only had 2 entries in your gallery in the last 5 years, both of them of very average artistic value, if at all. No captivating lighting, no interesting narrative. Nothing that would entitle you to act as a 'counsel' to people who visit this forum.

BTW, my 'vampire' effect above was rendered on a network of 4 computers with a total of 44 threads of execution, and 240 GB of RAM, in 9 minutes and 19 seconds. This proves that Shade3D, unlike Carrara, has a network renderer that actually works. It also proves that with a total of 500 threads of execution in a render farm with an average of 64 GB of RAM per node, an animation like this can be rendered in a reasonable amount of time, with a very high quality, without exorbitant license fees.

Oh, one more thing, Shade's network renderer is licensed for an unlimited number of nodes.
