Jeremiah W. has created a video for the skinit.com 60 second commercial contest. He used Blender to render and animate the 3D models, as well as some other elements. The actual electronic models were purchased on the web, “as my skills and patience did no allow for the quality that I could buy ;-) (plus I got them at a really good price)”. All of the texturing, animation, lighting, and rendering were done in Blender.

I’d like to proclame a new record of number of polygons ever rendered in Blender: 1.15 billion tris with blurry reflections. Rendertime 23 min, Mem 200 mb
Can anyone top that?
