Well, I wonder how long it would take to render using my Nvidia 940m

The muzzle is a bit too short and thin in my personal opinion, but other than that it really looks good.  
Hope to see more competition to the SFM ponies.

AMD FX-8350 as my CPU, though mostly irrelevant since I render things in Blender using my GPU  
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB) as my GPU at standard clock speeds  
and 8GB RAM
 
The biggest reason the render took as long as it did for 50 frames was the background. There’s a lot of reflection going on back there and it requires a lot of samples to make sure the render comes out clean.

-About 5 hours to render
 
Could you tell the specification of your computer for rendering this?

this feels like something you would see in ponk-o-vision

@DJTHED
 
Oh, I see. Still, your animations are nice.

Nah, she’s far from my favorite pony. She would need more screen time and development first. I’m just focusing a lot on her because of this:

And she is currently the only pony model I have created up to this point. I want to make sure this model is completely finalized (or as much as it can be) before I start creating other ponies.

This is very excellent animation for use of Blender.
 
This animator really likes Coloratura, I see :U

@barbeque  
I usually animate ponies at 24 fps. Because of GIF limitations, it has to be sped up slightly to 25 fps.

Any 3D pony model that doesn’t have the colored lips is a winner in my book.

@Background Pony #4031  
Perhaps I’m misinterpreting the comment, but any 3D render software (that takes itself seriously, anyways) will take ages to render. It’s not just Blender (I did have to mess around in it a few years back though, so I know the render pain).
 
Perhaps things have moved on from since I got this in college, but GPU’s are good for rendering certain things, while the CPU is generally more easily programmable (also raytracing) all-rounder. In consumer PC’s, the GPU will generally outpace the CPU, but it becomes a moot point when you get non-shared access to 48-core beasts. For those final 1080p renders you’ll probably want to find a graphics/computer science student or something, since uni’s are the most likely to have those.
 
Raytracing is awesome.
 
@the artist:  
25 fps I guess? Regardless, it looks amazing.

This animation looks like it could be used in a game like fallout equestria or a video. Also it’s very fluent! I like it!

very nice!

@Background Pony #4031  
Reflection shaders are applied to almost everything in at least some way because I use PBR Materials. It generally makes materials look a lot more realistic because of it, but obviously there’s a high price I would need to play in sampling.

Your stuff is wonderful, dude. I can’t wait to see more! <3

@DJTHED  
Ah… reflection issues I assume? I get artifacts up the wazoo when I try to use reflection.

@Background Pony #4031  
It’s necessary when you’ve got a lot going on in the background. There would be a lot of graininess with any lower sampling. (The background was actually rendered as a single image separately too at 16384 samples just to get it to look clean).

@DJTHED  
6000+ Samples though? I know you want high res, but I do think you can lower that a tad and still get a great image.

These Animations are wonderfully smooth.  
Imagine this in Smash.

Yes please upload more, this looks amazing.

I render with my GTX 1070 GPU

Holy crap is that good.

Blender user here. I know the feeling on rendering times. x_x
 
What do you use to render though? GPU or CPU?
