    After a hiatus (in which I have learned a lot about 3D work, I have to say), I am pleased to announce that Transformers: Redemption Episode Two is back underway.
    A lot of the character models have either been finished or improved, and I have been very busy remodelling some of the sets and locations, and finding better ways to render everything more realistically.
    I will put up some preliminary shots in the next week or two.
    All Redemption VAs should contact me as soon as possible. Any who haven't contacted me in the next 2 weeks will have to be replaced (I need dialogue to work with before I can animate a lot of the scenes), and new auditions will be held as and when the characters are needed. If you know any of the VAs who might not get to see this, please ask them to contact me.
    Thank you.

    excellent to hear Draven, though I still haven't seen episode 1....slow as connection would never allow me to download it.

    Basically I found a plugin renderer for Lightwave that seems to render roughly 3-4 times faster than LW's own renderer. Couple that with the possibility of me soon getting my hands on a new system with 4 2Ghz P4 processors, 8Gb of RAM and 2 400Gb SATA mirrored RAID HDs, and all of a sudden producing Episode Two doesn't look nearly as acary any more... ;)

    Do you still need help about video encoding?
