this is just our part of a very smal immagefilm, for another company.
This smal shot is all , the rest of the film is filmed stock material, but i didnt see the rest yet.
it was done in about 2 and a half day´s. (and nearly for no money )
but it was fun to do, and so well make another rendering in pal and better renderquality.
the overalfilm has to show, that that guy can do everything for your and other cars, special works and so on.
it wasn´t direct computation. it was l-map for secoundary bounces, and i-map for first bounce in high settings. flickering also might happen due to glossys in the carmaterial and the softshadows.
rendertimes with 450x360 pixel was about 3 to 7 minuts on 3ghz machines.
we use a renderfarm with about 11 computer, so our next step will be direct computation and l-map for secoundary bounces, and overal better settings.
right now in pal we get for this about 20 to 25 min per frame.
