Okay, here I am again with more curiousity and verve.
I've been working on this little movie of mine since last summer and it feels like I'm trudging through mud or tar. I've been trying to set up my scene with props and set pieces and all that jazz (still learning modelling, which explains why a lot of props aren't in my shots yet, not only that, but I'll soon be learning animaing and that's scaring the pee pee out of me) and it takes forever for my scenes to render out (just using GI Joe and Maya's renderer, not MR which drags everything down even more 
). So, the question lies herein. I know most studios startout with a script, then storyboards, animatics then modelling, scene layout, animating, lighting, texturing, rendering and then final output. What methods do you guys and gals use? Whatis the progression you all use to get from point A to point B in a fair amount of time. Right now, my rendering time is very expensive, not only because of my wasting time setting up lighting and rendering my scenes but also because my computer is quite slow... eMachines 533 MHz, 192 MB RAM, 15 GB hard drive. Any advice you can give to help a po' white boy out? Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Russell :banana:
