Hello,
thank you, guys!

some info: done in XSI/softimage, rendered in Arnold 1280*720, depthchannel in 2560*1440, comp in NUKE
resized to 2560 for Dof with frischluft then down to 1920*1080, longest rendertime 3hours22min/frame,
Camera-animation is one-shot (but fake in the beginning crashzoom(and short disolve) to the key,where i change the set.
In the beginning i start with MR but than i have to switch to Arnold(faster better stable...)
And now the production-time(no kiding)10Years!
Yes, 10years,but not every day, somtimes waiting for a software-update,changing every to Arnold was also a pain(new textures,new Ligthning and so on.)
Animation of the Mite took not so long (maybe 2weeks if i would work 8hours a day)
More info next Year!

SquirrelSa:smallest keys in the world, Your right, i thought i build everything in the right Dimension(damn)see attached picture ;)

That's amazing . . . thanks for the screen shots. So you worked all scenes/environments in one set, one camera move with obviously multiple passes? That's insane. It really works though. I was trying to work out how you would have blended the different environments. Well done though.
