As always this is rendered in 3DSMax 2022.3, using VRay 6 GPU Optix. I'm using a 4090 RTX. Render time averages were 2m30s and 6m30s respectively, with about .5s-1.5s for post effects application per frame. It's 140 frames long at 24fps.
I used settings of 512 max samples, .02 noise target, 32 samples per pixel and 384 ray bundle size. I maxed texture res out at 16K.
Post in After Effects, using Sapphire by BorisFX for the lens flares, and Red Giant Looks for the color correction.
