Just for shits and giggles I got one of the Stimuli animation sets. Never done an animation or anything like it before. Didn't change much, just applied all defaults. Rendered about 30 frames in 6 minutes at 720p, brought it into premiere and looped it a bit. obviously with proper background, better posing, lighting, etc. this would take way longer, but I just wanted to see what would happen. Also setting render quality to .25 helps a bunch I bet. I don't think it makes a huge difference for simple animations. I think this looks alright and 1 second in 6 minutes render time ain't bad. 10 seconds in an hour, not too shabby.
