After experimenting a little, I am finding how much I have to resize and compress in order to make something I can post to my gallery. It does tend to suck a lot of the life out of the piece, but I'll probably post a few of the final animations at the gallery and then follow up with a still at the full render size so that people can get a better idea of the detail. I will post my animation from the tutorial tomorrow.

Could be worse, could be raining.
