I wondered if you even had bearing in what appears afterward or if it was out of your control. I was thinking your name might have been a reference for what followed.

There are some materials now, so why hesitate? They could use some models from BBB or Elephant Dreams, no?

There are some materials now, so why hesitate?

The render time is also very misleading right now since Aqsis is in the middle of a major rewrite for optimization that I think will eventually cut that time by half at least :-) I'm fairly sure if rendered in Air it would only take a little less then a day (but I haven't tried). Also something else to keep in mind is the project could use micropoly displacements and layered shaders to quickly "complicate" the scene with practically no addition render times, so there's a lot of potential just under the hood ;-) Anyway I'm surprised at the interest in such a simple demo but thanks to everybody nonetheless :-D Hey everyone =)

But anyway it's just great. I get terrified when I think about the amount of rendering time involved.
