Blender – Rocks Animation

I made this animation during the second week of the Nature academy course. The course shows how to create a rocks scene and render it with blender internal but I wanted to try in cycles ;)

The next image is the scene with Blender internal (Render time = 3:25 seconds), is not bad but can be muuch better I know ;)

To render in cycles and create the animation I had to make some adjustments in the composition and materials but ultimately the scene is nothing more than a handful of rocks with an image on a plane for the background.

Render time for this animation take about 5 hours in GPU mode with GTX 460 and dual quad core on windows 7 (150 passes ).

This first picture is the scene with the background and lights? from the first test in blender internal but rendered with cycles. This picture take about 1:23 seconds for the render

The next pictures come from the footage of my animation and for this renders I change the background and the lights. Every frame take between 1:13 and 1:35 seconds.

Share and Enjoy !
