ATTENTION! THIS IS A 25MB DOWNLOAD!

Sorry, if that is too much for your connection.

The video quality isn't ideal either, but it's a 100 seconds animation. I had to make compromises and blah blah blah.:crying:

THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE NICE COMMENTS!! I DIDN'T EXPECT SO MANY SO FAST! YOU'RE TOO KIND!

Sooo, this is my biggest model to date.
I started it 2 years ago, tinkered with it here and then and actually decided to finish it a few weeks ago.
As you might recognise, this is the tree house library from mlp:fim and it's surroundings.
As always, the style is more realistic than a cartoon, but still not too realistic.

Some facts:
The duration of this animation is 104 seconds.
I's made out of exactly 2500 frames.
The rendertime for one frame was between 10 and 15 minutes.

The background is prerendered, which means the mountains were only rendered once.

The whole project was intended to be rendered in full HD, but that would have doubled the rendertime.
This doesn't mean, you will never see it in full HD.;)

For the library tree I recreated the leafs of an actual golden oak tree, also known as quercus alnifolia.

Except for the library and a few small objects, none of the models are really finished. They are more like dummies.
I say this, because I often get asked for models to get released for download.
In most cases that would be a lot more work, so I can't do it.

If you have read all that, thank you, and why the heck did you read all that?!
