Animation Rendering

[Aamid Ahbab]

Hi guys. I was just curious to know how all of the different animation teams get their animations rendered.

I have my team hook up one of school's computer labs (about 40 computers, windows, old, running xp) onto net render and then render to bitmap. We follow up by compiling using a software that we always change year to year.

As for how long it takes, it generally takes us from 5 to 10 hours.

As for passing time, I put a stand up comedy video on which lasted only an hour. Since we do this at school, overnight rendering is one thing I will not attempt.


Any of you guys have more efficient ways or better ways to spend your time while rendering?
