Wait so 29hrs GIVEN the server farm or 29hrs of computing time, thus requiring a server farm? Can't be the former... right? Wouldn't that mean decades of computing to render it?

And that was part of my question too: Given the rendering time faced by dono, would someone like he have access to technology to distribute this over a few machines/in the cloud or is that something that just big studios have the capacity to do?



1 frame takes 29 hours but they render frames concurrently (so the whole thing only takes a couple months).
