low poly rocks & spheres
4 Lights –> 2 with raytraced and 2 with area shadowing –> 3 with volumetric visible light
NO Hypernurbs
Full scene 1000 frames
Test animation 225 frames –> render time 14 hours 7 minutes with standard renderer, GI and AO on low.
THE STILL RESULTS:

Final animation rendering:
So now I have to rethink my project to add all the post effects and
create a final cam motion to make it look better.
