I just got an idea, you know how if you rendered every single object on a seperate frame, that you can bring them all together one by one very quickly in a compositing program. They did it in 3d on the matrix game. Its a really cool effect and relatively simple becuase they are already transparent. Might be cool for like one shot, maybe the very first?

perhaps vectorman if you have maya 5 you must add some paint effect (those with buildings) behind your city scene.

What kind of paint effects? I haven't actually used p effects yet. They crashed my computer last time i tried.

And now that i think about it, i should model a car, and then we could all put this on our first reel!

Muhahaha. Got maya up and running! Ok, heres the wire you requested, Cyrius. user added image

Change in plans for the interior. Me and Forum decided to put a heavy tint on the windows, so we wouldnt have to worry about modeling actual drivers and interior.
