Yeah, I think we should vote too. But my idea would be to single out three nominees for the env. My nomination would be to use daytime desert. And as for the rendering batch... hmmm... I have a pretty good computer, but I don't want to be rendering the thing for 20 days! Especially if we are going for photorealism. Also, my idea for that would be to each render certain scenes. Or, for a better idea, can any of ya'll stream targas into a movie file? Or jpegs or whatever? That way we can all render like 5 frames a day, if it takes like 1 hr per pic. Anyways, thats my 2 cents.
