I recently tried to render in Blender, but, it is taking the a ridiculously long time to render a frame. I've tried rendering on my windows laptop which has a NVIDIA GT 520M, 8GB of ram, and a 64-bit operating system and people told me that using the GPU won't accelerate rendering much. Instead I decided to render on my school computer. The school computer has a: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 GPU Integrated with 2GB GDDR5 memory, 256-bit memory interface
This took 20 mins a frame, I then thought my animation is 2000 frames long. 1 frame takes 20 mins, 20*2000 is 40000 mins. 40000 mins equals to 667 hours which equal to 30 days. I would never be able to hand up my assignment on time. I watched many tutorials on rendering and trying the tips that people gave me but it didn't improve the rendering time.
Here's my blender file:
(note, it is in CPU render instead of GPU render because I am currently working on it on my macbook air)
