What can do 360 1280x720 frames (12 seconds of animation) in 33 minutes of rendering (5.5 seconds per frame)?

  • sun/sky lighting
  • Indirect illumination
  • DOF
  • 4X AA
  • Dual-core
  • Nvidia FX 4800

No render farm involved, just a single desktop. On the same machine, mental ray took rougly 50 seconds per frame or 5 hours to render the sequence (but this machine only has two cores).

 I'll give you one hint, it is NOT iray.

OK, we'll agree it's called Quicksilver as that is a little hard to hide at this point. However, we prefer to keep the rest of the information double-super secret until announcement. No, it's not Vray either.

Ken, I think you should tell us what quicksilver is as a reward. :D
