Another problem that was faced after all the materials were changed was that my laptop wasn't powerful enough and it would take over an hour to render, this wouldn't cut it for the final render because there was too many frames to do. To sort this problem out was to send it to a render farm. The render farm i sent it was called 'Zync', this was recommended by a popular 3D magazine, soi i knew this was legit.
The only problem about the online render farm was that it was small business that had money to put into rendering, because i was a student i had to be careful with how much i could do because of the budget i am on. Thankfully because Zync is ran by google they offered a 300 dollar free trial, at first this seemed like this would cover my rendering, but it didn't, i had to pay 70 pounds on top to get atleast 140 frames, this was enough close to what my animation is for my set fmp, but i couldnt afford to do more frames because of the money. After using the 'Zync' calculator i found out that if i was to render my whole animation through 'Zync' it would of cost £3,500 for the animation.
With the outcome of the renders i was happy with what i produced but i needed to somehow get some more renders of the animation, it was tight especially with the time we had left. with this in mind i had to lower the samples on everything which means that the shot would be nosier but it would be needed just so i could hand in something for the deadline, but for the degree show i could aim to get the animation rendered.
