I don't want to tie up my big machine with a work load like that. It's a real nightmare. Plus I have about 5 years worth of stuff I want to animate and render. That's 5 years of continuous rendering. I could use some super-computer time that's for sure. A dozen Cray's should do the trick.

Hey we all know about that problem .Never enough speed , never enough power, and never enough space. Wish the net was a quizillion times faster so we could view each others animations full screen instead cut down ones or stills but hey you work with what you got.

cheers
