It's available to download on Patreon and here.
I seen Lara model, come pumpkin and LIT assets shared, no animation itself (maybe that was not shared by patrons).
Did You used this? I have one next to me and I must say that noise of that thing, even on "low" setting is unbearable for me to sleep.
But that's personal taste and it seams like this is not bothering him as he does it (or at least states that he renders and night).
10k USD is not much.
Few years back when I was doing a gig for some EU company they wanted to hire artist to do some 3D animation and quotation they go was 10k EURO / month. So it all depends on Your skills.
Personally I think he does keep his word (more or less) but apparently Patreons feel differently as support did droped by 1k (now is 9,6k + 200 subs.) from 10,5k.
Regarding "production is damaged" - every biger project is rendered to image sequence not to video directly. This is to prevent situation when render crashes, power outage etc. Than after process is completed image sequence is imported into Video editor and rendered to the final file.
What I don't understand is why he uses only one machine?
One for development and other as rendering machine / farm. With his income he can easily afford machine with 2/4 x RTX 2080 Ti. If that's not an option, due to i.e. no space in flat / room, heat + noise, wasted money as this will be only used when rendering whole animation, with doesn't happen to often, then there are other options, like rendering farm. There are already farms that support Blender (it's enough to just send ZIP blender file with simulation etc. baked) and pay the bill. This part to me feels shady from Wildeer Studio.
PS. When You read "renting / building own little sutdio" keep in mind that this will be rented flat with 1 room, usually 40 m2 and depending on location it's cheaper / month than 1 x RTX 2080 Ti (in my country for 1 RTX 2080 Ti I can rent such flat for around 4/5 months). This all depends on his location.
