Animations
Hmm.. I'm not a hardware expert (or animations expert for that
matter) but it's my understanding that if we're talking film quality
here (not just video quality) at several thousands x several
thousands lines per frame resolution.. It would probably take
several hours to render one frame, several megabytes to save it, and
several more megabytes for the swap space probably required!
