This is where I'm at.

I'm almost done setting up my scene.  I figure if my computer is going to be tied up for a day or so rendering, it might as well be something worthwhile.

The Scene has:
V4
Sydney
Millenium Dragon 2.0
Kelvin
M3
James
Knight Errant Armor for M3
Transmapped hair and dynamic hair
Various clothing and props

I figure that's a good number of meshes and textures

I'm cranking up the settings, not allt he way, but pretty darn close.

The armour and some of the weapons have true relfections (not maps, but real reflections)
I'm not using IBL this time around, but I have AO on many of the textures.

I just have to tweak the set and lights and I'm ready to render.  I'll post the results.

The Machine (nothing special):  Athlon XP 2600, 1.25GB RAM, 128Mb Nvidia 5900 Video card.

Lots of work setting this up.  I hope it comes out.
