This weekend I started rendering my piece. I unfortunately have to do it locally because of two reasons the first being that I wasn't getting the texture that I wanted in Houdini and the second being that it was taking too long to render out in houdini. So I decided to convert it to an abc file and render locally in maya. I started the rendering process last night with 25 test frames and here they are. the rest are now rendering and should finish tonight.
