G'day Deane!!

i read something over at pixar a while ago (link from someone here) , about rendering the cars movie, that was on about using a reyes renderer and a ray-tracing based renderer (renderman probally) , now they were saying that the reyes renderer was quick and quite good a reflection maps and they had used that most the time before the cars movie, but for the cars movie they found that the reyes renderer couldn't get the eyes to reflect on the bonnets and stuff like that which you get with a ray-tracing renderer, so in the end they made / adapted their renderer to do both.

anyway i'm a bit of a scan reader so have probally missed an important bit out somewhere, but i scan read yesterday that PP was using a reyes renderer, so maybe some of that gibber jabber above makes sense to ya!!

anyway hope it gets sorted soon mate!!
