ok... Final rendering time - 38 hours, 11 minutes and 48 seconds.

yep - it finally finished =D

and in this case, the hair was at the bottom of the screen LOL.

and yep, knew about putting a render cow on hubby's machine.... but i think he'd kill me.  his computer is also needing to go into the shop.... the battery just died completely, and unless he keeps it plugged in, it forgets everything.  i was hoping to still have my old dinosaur... but it got jealous when i ordered the new machine and up and died on me.

as for vue's render time calculation - after watching it for a long time, i determined it was something like that.... cus render times typically increase to the halfway point, and then drop off after that (until it hits the hair.... or water.... or anything transparent, reflective, transluscent, or just plain cool)

oooo, how about an alligator laura swimmin in the swamps?

and midnight-kitty was an unexpected blessing.... she was about 8 weeks old when i got her, and she still fit in one hand (i have small hands).... now, she barely fits in one arm.  she's also the only cat i know of that actually CALMS DOWN when wrapped up in a blanky.  i started that as soon as i got her... it was either wrap her in a blanky or be clawed to death.  she and i bonded with her wrapped securely in an old baby blanket, and even now, she'll crawl into my lap, turn belly-side up, and wait for me to start talking baby talk to her LOL.  but she now equates the blanky with safety, comfort, and mommy's lap.  we had to live in a house with 2 very small kids, 4 other cats, 2 huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge dogs, a psychotic woman (moreso than me), and a very loud man for a while.... midnight spent as much time in my lap as she could.  it was months after we moved out before she settled back down into the fun-loving kitty i knew.

ok, off to play with the image =D

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
