Please enjoy my latest creation.

It was created and rendered in Carrara, with DOF post work in Adobe After effects.

Notes on the animation (to set the scene).

Level 4 Cyberpunks trudge home from work accompanied by a down and out busker, young and yet rejected from an elitist society which judges the future of people before they've had a chance to prove themselves.

This is "Sci Fi Funk", an animated adventure set in London 2064 AD. The 3D animated scenes feature an overcrowded and bleak future where your future is determined before you've had a chance to prove yourself.

Sound familiar?

At least in this video SOMEONE shows some charity. That young man will eat tonight.

Good work!

I wonder how much time did you spend the render time in Carrara?

render farm :Intel Xeon E5560 * 2, 16 cores with hyper-threading,Win7 64bit.

Thanks amileduan.

In this case the render time wasn't too bad. I was able to render with my (mini) render farm (one i7 machine and 2x older machines which added together make another i7 equivilent speed).

The total time per frame over this mini network was quite quick - somewhere between 40-50 secs a frame.

What keeps the render time down is the low poly people with simple shaders. Only the walls reflect the lights and there are not that many lights in the scene.

that's great man!
