This is really just a doodle. I’m going to use the clayman model in an animation at some point, but I wanted to try out environment lighting in the meantime. Even though it’s faked, Blender’s GI/Env Lighting is still pretty good. With a little extra work on lighting, I think Blender Internal could look almost as good as Yafray, but render fast enough to be useful for animation.
Including all compositing, this scene took 33.31 seconds to render. This is definitely fast enough to render an animation in a reasonable amount of time.
I’m not looking for crits here, but they can’t hurt!
I think the character would look better with a head; I know he’s made out of clay, but still. Is he about to go bungee jumping? 
That could make a fun animation.
