I just finished making an intro for Polygonal Studios (my indie game dev studio). You can check it out here - www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=284639698364809 You can also like the page (or just the video) for updates!
Made with Blender, edited with After Effects. Rendered in 1080p HD, and rendered at 25 samples. I left it to render as an all nighter (a long time for a 5 second animation :p) and forgot to check the render time, so I can’t tell you that.
