Stuck in the pandemic for nearly 5 months and not gone on vacation for 2 years was the motivation and inspiration for this render.
This when I learnt that the most practical method of rendering animations is exporting an entire frame by frame image sequence (PNGs in my case). This would reduce margin of error. Although it appears to be a simple render, but it took a significant toll on my Mac-book Pro. The entire sequence took about 25 hours to render.
Later, I re-rendered 2-3 frames on a new high-end desktop that I had purchased. It took about 2 minutes per frame instead of 17 minutes that my Mac-book required. This PC was also enabled the use of Octane.
