Thanks! My main PC is i7 quad core gently overclocked to 3.8 to keep noise down, 24GB of RAM. An i5 render station with 16GB and two Quad Core 2 with 16 also to supplement, all also overclocked gently.

 

Render times are pretty slow as since everything is being done at 5600 x 4200 pix in 32 bit color so I find AE needs minimum of 4GB per thread plus 12 GB background. What I uploaded thus far was about 6 weeks of render time.

 

Of course, if the fundraiser goes well, a Sandy Bridge E setup with 12 threads and 64 GB of RAM would helpJ

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
