Here’s a clip from our latest animation.
Be patient - right click to rewind
All together we rendered about 3 minutes of animation for a marketing DVD. Initially we used a lot of glossy reflections, but had to cut it down since I had a lot of trouble getting rid of the noise while maintaining fast rendertimes.

C&C welcome
Very nice. How long did this project take? Modeling to compositing that is. Looks like a lot of work.
hmm, this was a rather tough one with quite a bit of toing and froing - but my estimate is approx 1 month solid.
Really smooth, nice Job!
Excellent,
Very impressive, just wondering how many people worked on it or were you on your own.
Cheers,

Most of the jobs in our company is teamwork - my role has been taking it from model phase to production renderings.
Also a lot of work on this job went on customizing furniture and color for the interiors - but hopefully we can re-use some of this stuff.
Nice work, very smooth, and great interior lighting.
Did you use light cache?
I noticed that there was some interlacing, did you do the interlacing in post or is it output from VRay?
Keep up the great work!
Light cache: Yes, we did use light cache combined with irradiance map.
Initially we were using QMC for the aa, but couldnt get rid of noise within decent rendertimes - we need to do some more research on that matter - so ended up using Adaptive (0/2) and a Catmul-Rom aa-filter.
The original render is 720x576 @ 1.422 pixel aspect (for wide screen DVD) - and yes everything was rendered out interlaced - don’t know if you can apply interlacing properly in post.
The reason there are still interlacing noticeable in the animation posted, is that I havent found a good de-interlacing filter - Premiere’s certainly doesnt give you great results.
Average render times of the original frames was about 6-10 mins on dual Xeon 3Ghz’s.
