So I'm struggling a bit with some render settings, perhaps anyone here knows something x]

This render is with the default settings, and with barely no lightning (I need to render 600 frames of this scene in 1920x1080).
I'm fine with the sky map and the lightning but I would like to increase the quality.


I put the samplequality up to 4-64 and it takes 20 minutes to render LOL.
You can see a nice difference with this but alright, 20 minutes x 600 is an awful lot of render time :S.


So I was hoping anyone would know a way around to increase quality and decrease the render time under 20 minutes.

Tips on the scene are welcome as well ^_^.
