I'm currently running on 3D animation project for one of my degree course. I'm typing this because I have been waiting for 8 hours just to wait my rendering part to finish, but it hasn't end yet! Just for a starting part, the camera shows and turn around the city with lighting, shadows and reflections with a total of 280 frames (30 frames = 1 second) . So if 150 frames takes 8 hours to render..280 means i have to wait for almost another 8 hour!!! and it has already taken around 300MB of space

That is just the starting scene, my animation have around 10 more scene to render with an average of 1600 frames. I'm just running on Pentium 4 3.0 GHz using CINEMA 4D.

Do you guys think that I can finish rendering it by 22nd of March?
