Did you get my PM?
I let you know that if you can send me the scene file and objects (geometry compresses really well), I *DO* have an incredibly fast render farm at my disposal. I render 5 million poly scenes at 5 minutes a frame.
I would be happy to create a few alternate versions of the TIE shot and I am sure one of my Lightwave friends would be happy to come up with a solution for the Death Star. We could probably fake something in 2D, no need to create a monster model.
It's up to you and Ady. We are offering.
PM me.
