AI video creator hits Blender render bottleneck: 5,898 frames take ~7 hours, willing to pay thousands/month to speed up

Developer rileybrown shared his AI-assisted video pipeline: an AI reads the voice draft, maps scenes, builds Blender geometry, rigs a real hand, animates to voice and mixes sound — ending in a 5,898-frame 1080x1920 render that takes about 7 hours. Rendering is now the bottleneck, and he's asking for cloud or Mac-cluster options, saying he'd pay thousands per month for faster turnaround. A vivid look at the real compute cost hiding behind AI-generated video.
