Chapter Five - descent - is one big scene, and will be 22-24 pages in length.

For what it's worth, the vehicle took 193 hours, 21 minutes and 56 seconds to render on a 2ghz Athlon with 2 gigs of ram. Photoshop took considerably less time.

Chapter Five will begin full production in late March or early April and will proceed at the fastest possible pace until it is completed, after which I'll be taking a breather. I haven't had one of those in awhile.

13:21 < mdxi> heh. how the hell does a white car take 8 days to render?

* Not that you really see any of it, but that isn't the point.
