My stills some times take more than 50 hours...but an animation-frame max 45min^^. So this took 127 days?! My longes animation took nearly 500 hours :D.
@onlyCreativity GeForce 8800 GTS 512 (is it really worth flashing that to a Quadro for rendering?), 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM, quad core Intel (Q6600), and then I have my MacBook Pro (dual core) networked too.
I can't understand why it took a day each frame.. :S.
There won't be a difference if you flash your geforce or not..mental ray uses ONLY the CPU! But if you flash it you will get a much better performace in Viewport (OpenGL and Direct3D), I mean the framerate will increase. That's better when you work on high poly scenes!
Oh dude, it wasn't a day per frame on that animation. I'm talking about a current one that has full Bokeh DoF, HDR lighting, textures, and grass/fur :P
But yeah, I wish Iray was out for Maya 2011. I was disappointed.
