Description
An Blender render, this is the third run. 250 frames render each time so what a time waster. Number 01 I done as a head on shot with the train moving towards the viewer the lights just too low only light the lower part of the frame. set up another scene this time to the left side of the train almost 2 hours later found I did not like my backdrop. Third made a new back drop in Carrara worked a lot better,,,, in all this 8 seconds of animation is the result of over seven hours computer time,,,, Why?? do I do it... I am going to have to find an Render farm that works with Blender
The model train has no tracks.. and the wheels don't spin so there was no point doing the render to include the wheels
I do not render in AVI all u need is a computer fail or power cut and every thing gone, for this I render single frame in jpeg
By the way I use Blender 3.3 not as it says below 2.7 but I can not change what it says
You now know why so few do animation renders
My settings for this render was way down at 5 for a single image I use from 128 to 600 but for animation I have found above 20 a waste of render time
I also render animations in Carrara, DAZ and Poser

I like this animation. Though I feel you frustration. I have done stop-frame animations and let Bryce compile a render animation directly. They all take time to set up and lower, non anti-aliased images are more than adequate for animation purposes.

In what we call the good old days of animation you would have to leave the computer running for days just to get maybe a minute of video. least those days are all but gone, Now I do have Bryce but just do not have the time to learn it's tricks. My hair gets more grey with each frame. My need for tea to keep me going my frustration builds from a mole hill to an mountain. I can understand why with all the art lovers on this site why so few do animation I have in the pass used the green backdrop and then made the back ground after but again there is only so many hours in any day Many thanks for the peek and comment

As my hair was already grey when I did my first animation, I don't have that problem. I do, however, have 2 PCs so that I can do the setting up on one while the other, faster machine does all the grunt work.
I use an old 32-bit PC running Windows XP for the setting up and a 64-bit quad-core running Linux and WINE to do the actual rendering. This system seems to work quite well. :-)

Many thanks for the info.. dose the wine help the computer or just clam down ur mind.

Lol. I was never much of a wine drinker myself but WINE on Linux allows quite a large number of Windows programmes to run natively (and sometimes, faster) on the Linux desktop.

This looks great! Can you imagine the computing power it takes to do a movie with all those fancy computer-rendered SFX? Of course those folks DO have render farms..

For movie rendered 1st the size of the frame u need at least 4K the amount of detail be on counting the time to render an single frame may be hours. their computer systems run day and night no a few mins of animation at 1920 is just about as much as my grey matter can think about at this time. The big movie firms don't send out to render farms they do it within their own yards.. Years ago on an computer course I used what was called an midi computer it was what they called small it would have filled my house from floor to roof ram was piled in to it the Uni had four of these all feeding thru a ling network to an Cray computer boy could that thing eat info Many thanks for the comment
