@theluthier I was thinking on how I was going to render all those frames of a two minute video for the portfolio, in 1920×1080 it’s going to be vast amounts of hours and I mean impossibly too much time. I only have a laptop.
In your course of rendering the Halloween short, you set up the scene so that Wayne can render some frames, and other computers can help in as well, but most people I know don’t even have a decent computer, so that’s not an option. I have never used a render farm service, I don’t know how expensive it will be either.
I was thinking of using Element 3D in After Effects, I use it quite often and it’s very powerful. I have to bake lots of textures and optimize scenes but it’s worth it, I can probably cut a 5 hours render time down to 5 minutes with it. But what I was really thinking is using EEVEE, it’s kind of the same thing as Element 3D is. Do you think EEVEE is up to the task? should I start learning EEVEE so that I’m able to make that video? There is no way I am going to be able to render the whole thing in my laptop with normal rendering in Cycles.
Could @jlampel maybe touch the subject on next week stream?
