ok.  so im a moron.

i had a lovely response written.

didnt hit "post reply" and without thinking, clicked on link above.  oops.

ok... so now... yep, mine wasn't as bad as it coulda been... had no idea how many render hours it took them, but i can definately see why... specially looking at tinkerbell & wall*e, the industry's newest "darlings".

my jaw STILL hits the floor - i think i spent the entire time watching wall*e with my mouth hanging wide open in amazement at the animation.

am doing a different animation this time... 20 frames per seconds, 4 seconds long, rendering to sequential jpg.  (thanks for all the suggestions there, folks!)  and its strange how the world works at times, because right as this was going on, someone new popped into my life via an email response to one of my freebies... and good suggestions came about from him regarding animations & saving to jpgs, etc - even though he only uses Poser as far as i can determine (i will convert him....), the information is valid no matter what.

at some point, when this becomes more than a seriousely addicting hobby (the animation part anyway... i DO have an ultimate goal in mind with it - a series of 15 to 30 minute animations depicting some of the Native Alaskan legends, tales, lore, myths, etc.... but this is in the future, and will involve me figuring out that "ranch" business - aint no way my home-based computer will be able to handle all that, and no way will i wait 2,281 years for my animation to finish rendering.  LOL.

ok, now to hit "post reply" BEFORE touching that link.

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