How many frames? What resolution? Did you use the Max render engine or a third party package? What are the specs on your comp (CPU/RAM)?
I'm curious just to see how the different softwares compare in rendering.
My last animation was about 1000 frames, rendered in two layers (so 2000 frames total). The bottom scene was about 40000 polys, with 4 lights, minimal raytracing, and production quality anti-aliasing. The second layer was a 125000 dense fur map with the same rendering quality and lights as the first layer.
Total render time on a dual 2.8Ghz P4 Xeon machine with 2GB RAM was about 55 hours.
With the high amount of reflections on those metallic surfaces I'd imagine that really upped your render times.
Sorry about all the questions, hope I'm not being a pest
