The video is looped 10 times from the original video which consists of 173
frames. The rendering took about 1 hour on a c4.8xlarge / Intel Xeon E5-2666 v3
compute instance with 40 threads. Current EC2 instance price (as of 2016-05-05):
$1.675 per hour.

If you have some clock cycles left, please contact me via mail, so we can create
more POV animations.

Here's a quick desktop capture during the trace in the clouds:

Just tried compiling Povray with this thing. It takes 30 seconds!

Thanks much Jakob for putting together & posting all this information!

I have not to date done too much with animation, but I do want to try 
POV-Ray rendering on Amazon's cloud services in the near future.

I'm also very interested in Bullet Physics, but I have to admit to 
myself I have too many projects active at the moment to pick that one up 
just now... :-) Hopefully later this summer.

Bill, if you don't have any time for BPP - all I need is shell access
to one of those big irons ;-) - preferred packages:

 $ sudo apt-get install screen povray ffmpeg make

My ssh public key is at https://github.com/koppi.keys

Here's my latest experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwdbtfiEo0A

I would love to do an animation of this marble run with POV-Ray :-)

Hi Jakob,

Sorry, I don't have a big machine like that discussed here running at 
the moment.

I jumped on this thread because my render machine is down and I was 
thinking of financially stretching for the used dual xeon, 12 core, 24 
thread machine by the same path others here have taken - rather than 
just fixing my broken 4 core render machine.

Presently, I'll be stretching for car repairs instead. :-(

Bill P.
