Render Farm ! Mooooooo

At last ive found out that the render farm is set up and working. This is good news which can speed up the post-production work flow at the end of term!

How fast is it?

A job with 8 Render Layers (one Ambient Occlusion, 2 Ray Tracing) of 200 Frames that took 5 h 50 m to render on one dual core processor. The same setting applied took 20 minutes on the render farm ! ! ! Roughly 15 times faster depending on job.

200 Frames = 20 min
1 Frame = 6 sec

Based on the figures above that it take 200 frames 20mins to render and 1 frame take 6 seconds I worked out a rough guide for how long our animation will take to render :D

So if you are looking at a 2 min animation (3200Frames) to render on the render farm it will take 5 hours and 20mins. Which is a little less time if you was rendering 200 on 1 dual core computer. ! !
