Some Info:
MAtch moving, Animation and UV Texturing (+ some additional modelling) done in the Blender for Octane v2.68
Shaded and rendered with the internal Octane for Blender Plugin (v1.55)
GPU set up with two Machines: 590 GTX + 780 GTX and
2x 590 GTX
Overall rendertime: approx. 2 weeks.
Kernel: Direct Light
The robot interior and the dark hangar shots only used mesh lights (some IES). No Environment lighting.
This needed about 5000 - 7000 Samples per pixel. It took 10 - 15 minutes of render time per frame (2048x872).
One 780 GTX scales around 90% speed of one 590 GTX.
Depth of field blur is rendered and not post.
Octane postprocessing (glare and bloom) used in almost all shots.
Firefly removel needed a value of .69 in some cases. This was still not enough.
Additional Firefly removal, post lensflares and Denoise in Nuke and Aftereffects.
Color Grading in DaVinci Resolve.
Cheers.
