Old piece, new animation

I set up the armature on this model for animation with the intent of creating a second nft. At this point, all the keys were in place and the animation was prepared for rendering.

I rendered a slightly different version of this about a week ago. There are only 250 frames that need to be processed. On only 32 samples, it took six days to finish.

I was preparing myself to save up for a new computer to handle this job, until a Blender artist on Twitter mentioned to me that she uses a render farm to process her work.

A new computer with a decent graphics card would have cost me 2 grand. The render farm charged me $250. and it was completed in an hour.

Once the video was processed, I decided to add a few video effects to make it appear a bit more interesting.

Now that it’s done, I’m not even sure if it needs to be sold. Also, who would want to buy this? I’m stumped.
