" time to upgrade the celeron? When people give render times like this, we really should be indication system specs. Looks good. If you’re up to re-baking, I’d adjust the time variable, so it’s more real-time looking, instead of slow-mo. Try it at a low-res bake to adjust the timing, then bake at high res when it’s good."
Actually I had made it slow on purpose with the intentions of having 60 fps playback. I did that and 60 fps just didn’t sit right, so I dropped it down to 24 and now it’s slow mo.
Specs:
Intel core 2 quad 2.4ghz
Nvidia 9600gt
8gb ddr2 800
The main reason it took so long is because I had approximate AO on. And I did some still renderes towards the beginning of the animation to test for speed, and those went way faster than the later ones. So once I had about 50 frames I didn’t want to restart. Anyway I’m going to dig through my HD and find the fluid files and I’ll probably rerender it optimized and mix the two videos together.
muahahaha
