Though I already posted some preliminary stills in the works-in-progress board, after a week of rendering, I managed to get a finished animation put together.
It was a pretty difficult project to get done due to a false start with VRay, and having a hell of a time shaving as much time as I could on getting a decent result with volumic lighting(I would up scrapping it and doing the volumic stuff in post). In the end, I’m pretty happy with the result.
