Hi, Well, the rest of the stuff including long mpegs, can be find at the link above, but I suspect that us poser types will be interested in this dir: http://www.geocities.com/ffclips2/maxim/ Wherein you will find what look like reference face renders of all the main characters, fairly impressive really! As for Ms Ross' pictures, I expected as much. Lets face it, if you were building the world's most realistic model you'd render a few nudes too right! ;) The hair is fairly amazing, and they've shared such technical inovations with the team that's doing the FF10 game, so you'll be seeing more of this technology :) For those interested in how this was done check out this page: http://www.sgi.com/newsroom/press_releases/2001/july/final_fantasy.html which contains data of the hard & software that made the movie possible, chalk up another "hit" for Gnu/Linux :) Oh yeah... :) This site: http://www.thegia.com/features/ffmovie/ffmovie.html has details about square's ambitions for the project and links to some extreme closeups on it, so you can drool over the detail, and wish you too could afford your own render farm :) later jb
