Take a peaceful Sunday 10 minutes to watch this stunning video of a full CGI render completed by a talented young man. It has no TF2, no headshots, no explosions. Some might find it boring, it focuses on architecture (incidentally most of the buildings are real). I wish I could even find the time to be this talented.

Approximate guesses on render time from those who decide to watch (I don't know)?

no idea how long such a thing would take to make, but if he didn't do it because of a job, or to get himself a job the man is a fool.

Perhaps, but then why do people paint or draw? Practice, bettering oneself or for "fun".

Beautiful.

Seriously, that's really staggering. I always love looking at CGI shorts, but I've never seen anything on this scale of detail before. I mean, look at the textures, there's no blur or pixelation and I can't see any off-shaded triangles on the models. Editing and music added to the feel to it, truely sensational.

My Steam Avatar took 2 mins to render, but doesn't use any Final Gathering or any other illumination or HDR rendering software. My guess for his...years?

It touched me, but in a good way.

I not only watched the movie till the end, I also watched the behind the scenes and the break down movies after.

Its simply mind blowing. I can't think of anything else to say.

Rendering time? That all depends on how many computers he has. One computer to render all that would be mad, months I would guess if not years. If he had a farm of top spec machines than it might have been rendered within hours or even days, who knows. :X

One of the comments stated that the author took the year off to do this work. Couldn't find any more information. Doesn't help that the main website is down.
