Sweet! Finally some animation here :) Looks fine, a little bit more reflections here and there but it's already a pleasure to look at.

The end is great :D Wish more Archviz vids would be like that

Wow awesome work, (and now my FAQs) what is your render times and how many pc's used and is this PT+PT or you used a cached HD

1.5-3 Hours per frame on i-7 2600. Used 16 PCs. PT+HD.

How many years did you render
Title: Re: Animation of Metro train
Post by: fobus on 2014-03-28, 10:58:07
~2000 Render-Hours for all. On 16PCs it was 6 Days.

Was it worth it if the rendertime was so high? Wouldn't be Vray better choice for this? :)

I like Corona and V-Ray's rendertimes with this scene was at least the same.

That's i wanted to hear :) I just wanted to make sure there were no regrets using Corona, as i still honestly realize there are some complex scenarios where using Corona may send you to the dead end. But hopefully there will be no such scenarios in retail release :)

Looks great.  If it were me I'd throw some reelsmart motion blur on it in After Effects and possibly some subtle optical flares. Then it would honestly be hard to tell if it were cg or real in some shots. Nice set up with those PCs, very jealous.

You're right. There was a few boring things during this project (like no solution to remove noise from overbrighted areas in DoF and MB). But the process much more friendly to artist than V-Ray's. Some things are missing in Corona at the moment (like no render elements thru glass or matte material). But it is great pleasure to use Corona.

I wonder if you tried adaptivity. :)

You're right. At the end of project (the last camera) I had to use progressive mode render with adaptivity. I was the solution, but noise still was there. :(

I was just curious because it's almost never mentioned on the forums and I think it can speed up stuff in some cases.

Thats really great, did you manage the frames by time or quality?, like your top was 200 passes or something like that?

Render was set to 100 passes in most shots so times varied.

fobus what is the main point to get clear result in 100 passes? in my experiments in much simplier scenes the lower limit is 300 passes to get + - clear result.

Hold on for just one frame. Did you use model people inside of the train?

Good to see folks using CR for animation. Was it difficult to setup the renderfarm? Also did you think about removing the noise in post with something like neatvideo denoiser?
