Update: Robot Wars

I've got my set fully constructed now, and have discovered the larger = slower. Layers are a godsend, allowing me to keep things organized. Lighting has also been a learning experience... you think everthing will work a particular way, and when you render the frame, it looks like crap.

I've rendered my first test scene, and 120 frames took all night to render! Insane!

I've layed out my story board, and it looks like I'll have 10-15 small scenes altogether, so I'll be leaving my desktop on for the next week or so.
