Each frame took from about 0.5 – 10 seconds to render in 4k. We didn’t use a renderfarm. The final render was done on my PC. There was no compositing, all the colors were tweaked and adjusted using shaders."Nice to see some <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/frugalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#frugalComputing</a> in theatrical <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/3D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3D</a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/animation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#animation</a>, intentional or not. :neofox_uwu:<a href="https://www.blender.org/user-stories/making-flow-an-interview-with-director-gints-zilbalodis/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.blender.org/user-stories/making-flow-an-interview-with-director-gints-zilbalodis/</a>

Wim🧮I think this is a point worth making again: for may of the tasks where genAI is touted as the solution, we already have tools to assist with them, or we could easily create them. If such tools have not been adopted yet, that is not a technology problem. <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/FrugalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FrugalComputing</a>

Wim🧮Combine this with the awful environmental cost of AI and it is clear that this technology would do more harm than good even if it actually improves productivity in some sectors.<a href="https://scholar.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/FrugalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FrugalComputing</a>
