Well, Vec. The cars have so much geometry and all, so why dont we just render in layers/passes? That way, rendering time would be cut down (right..?) and then we can composite to them.

polar 0pposite; we all got good just using the program, and keeping at it when we get stuck. Also, comming across SM gave me ALOT of help, due to the helpful people here user added image

Forum went to a school for it, but other than that, we just keep at it day in and day out. user added image

For the corner I would recommend adding stop signs cause it looks like a 4-way stop.

I've been spending all my hours at the computer trying to get this freaking *$%#*@?@*^%!#$^@*$ hard drive working, with no results. I'm begining to think the drive is burnt. But this will pick back up when we are all having more time to work on it.
