Here it is folks, the final 1080p animation:
http://youtu.be/3_T6zhiI2aMBe sure to watch in HD (1080p). It's only 8 seconds, but it's a lovely 8 seconds!
And don't worry, it didn't take a month and a half just to render.
In fact it was less than 2 hours on the Ranch render farm.
Turns out that object sequences can be pretty big to deal with. We're talking some 25GB of object data! So there was a bit of struggle in transferring some big files. But it worked out great in the end, as you can see.
Big thanks to Hannes for working with us on this! Glad to be able to bring his scene to life in full HD.
