I'm pretty sure ILM had to use more than 20 TB to accommodate their first Transformers. From my understanding, ILM had to reserve more than 200 TB for the entire show alone.

Transformers 1 was more like 220 TB. You might want to check your facts brah.

I think we can say they are over cooking these in style or they think we are all on 486 at home.72 hours a frame, what with all passes? or are you guys just really getting eye splits? (try setting the near clipping frame a little further away). no way is the rendertime correct, what are ILMs render nodes? cant be much more than a dual xeon and 32gbs of ram.
