WIP Train #15 - Hardware / Software Specs (Patreon)

Sometimes I get questions about what hardware / software I run. Here are my current hardware specs and also our software setup for the team. The bulk of our rendering jobs for animation is sent to our rendering farm.

For reference, rendering one 1080p frame currently takes around 20mins per GPU. 10 minutes of animation is around 18,000 frames (10 x 60 x 30fps), but with draft renders and cam tests the overall frame count per 10mins is more like 60,000 frames.
