ONE frame can take up a couple of hours depending on the situation, since typicly not all frames are created equal. adding up into possibly the 1000's of PCs to build the farm. yes you can rent computers over the internet. To put it in perspective on how Pixar is held up, they will be rendering to both their own farm + leasted farms. Normally, on just 1 PC this would take years to render considering they are 'low grade film' (as i like to call it) which still is highly intense with detail. My animations are usually short 3 minute films at 30 fps. I use a Render farm of nearly 80 computers at work.

As compuers advance and we get more power, the harder we push what they do, so rendering is as slow as it was 10 years ago. It's perfectly normal, rendering is slow, it always has been and always will be. So is there something wrong with my animation to make it take this long to render, os is it just normal? If there is more than one computer where you are, you could try it, read up on Backburner. A render farm can be just 2 machines or thousands, depending on budget or what is available to you. So i wonder how much time does it take to render a complete Disney Pixar animation movie.I know that their computer is 100 times stronger than mineĪnyone doing serious renders will use a render farm, lots of computers working together to get the job done quicker. There are a million and one different factors that determine how long a render takes, too many to list.

How much time does it take to render a simple animation?ġ0mins for 10 secs of anim, at 25fps that's 15secs to render 1 frame, I would call that fast.
