Yo! You mentioned C4D as your choice for animation software, but what renderer do you use to render the video? It seemed pretty quick in the shot where you render a frame haha

[@BlueMonkey]

Oh yes, I didn't mention that. It's the Standard render engine inside of Cinema. I'm running a Threadripper 1950x which makes short work of the frames.
