Yesterday night rendering started on the Grim.  Some animations are still being polished, but while they are completed other scenes are being finalized.  As we don't have a render farm available for this project, scenes are being rendered on 2 personal computers.  some scenes can consist of hundreds of frames that need rendering.  fortunately with the miniature sets being used for background, only the characters and main props need rendering.  This helps reduce a render time that could have been an hour or more a frame with a CG background, to about 1 to 2 minutes a frame with just the character.
