20th Century ETFC
I saw a tutorial for creating 20th Century Fox type titles using Blender 3D so I downloaded the blend file (a bit of a cheat, that, I know), edited the text and slid the timeline along to frame 324 of 650. Then I rendered the individual frame which took just over 2 minutes on a 1.4Ghz CeleronM laptop running Blender 2.49b in Ubuntu 9.10 (at that rate the full animation would take over 21 hours to create a 26 second long video clip). The blend file includes all the background as well as the buildings, lights and camera movements.
I am rendering the video on my quadcore desktop PC which is still running UbuntuStudio 9.10 but will soon be running 64Studio Linux in the hope I can delete PulseAudio which is a PITA latency-wise and a bit pointless with ALSA and Jack installed . If you try removing PulseAudio from Ubuntu it tries to uninstall the Gnome desktop.
