Thats 20 frames an hour per cpu, so 480 frames over a 24 hour block. Running that across 16 processors thats a grand total of 7680 frames. At 25 fps thats 307.2 seconds of footage or about 5 minutes. Assuming they are all beauty passes. :) If you break it down, with an average of 3 minutes per frame. Thats 20 frames an hour per cpu, so 480 frames over a 24 hour block.

Or, maybe someone could create one heck of a cloth, fluid, or particles animation. They probably only want to see a still image instead of the entire animation due to email attachment limitations and the time it would take to review/judge several animations. So, anyone submitting an entry should pick the best "money shot" from their animation that demonstrates why it would be a good candidate for needing a renderfarm.

So, even though it's an animation contest, we send a still image of the animation instead of the link to the video? How can they tell whether it's a good animation or not without a video? Maybe they just want the Jpeg/TIFF so they can have a thumbnail besides the video. I would need something massive to render to take much advantage of the renderfarm's capabilities.
