Slow Going

An update on the movie for those of you interested… I'd guess I'm about 20% done with the rendering. I'm employing the "script a little, render a little" method. I sat down the other day and wrote out most of the script. So now I just rig up a new scene with camera, lighting, character motion, etc and then cut it loose to render a couple hundred frames. I figured out how I could hook Maya up to my distributed rendering project but I don't think it would be worth my time right now. Maya moves along pretty quickly and this movie isn't too long. If I go for a longer movie next time, I might try to hook it up to Render.NET and then all of you can help me render frames for the movie. I'm shooting for having this movie done by the end of September.
