Also looking at buying a new rendering rig for taking advantage of GPU. Probably cost around 3K. Still estimating a 6 month render time.
This stuff takes a long time and is expensive.

This is where 3D graphics falls down, GPU's can do quick dirty HQ single frame renders in seconds but give a system a short full animation with a character, clothes, hair and a set plus camera(s) and lighting and it takes hours/days without a Render Farm. The only solutions for speed are either a Real Time Game Engine or something like iClone which again allows for Real Time Animation but still needs to render it's final output.
