Well I couldn't attach my animation cause is too big....is about 10 mg...just 28 second of animation......so I took some snapshoots to post it.......And also I'm havin some problem to render....the point is if I aplly raytrace lighting what is necessary for my animation because have some transparent texture that if it is in normal light comes out some strange shadow, I will brow up my computer doing 45 hour rendering process, what basically impossible in my machine....so if I apply normal lighting I will have that strange shadow boring me in the middle of animation......
Anyway heres my snapshoots and hopefully I will sold out this problem and see if I can compress the file to post here.....

Yeh....this geometry and many another ones is still unfixed....
Is too complicate.....I will try to fix it.....but I think that I will use him for middle to long shoots of animation so I belive that in this way I can camouflage my problem.....

one suggestions is to bump up the lighting a little bit. user added image

As for file size, best results I know of are with the divx codec and zipping them or something. 'Fraid I don't do much in the way of video, either.
