Re: is everyone happy the animations are sent?!
Our team's animation didn't quite make it this year: It was done with ~3-4 days to spare, but the rendering took much longer than expected. We used a render farm composed of a dual 3.7GHz xeon and a few other p4's but it didn't finish in time. The Xeon was taking about 4 minutes per frame, and the P4's hardly did half of that speed. When we started it out first, we would've had it done with over a day to spare, but 3DS Max kept crashing on the computers around frame 10. In the end, we just couldn't get it done. However, I've volunteered the use of my computer to render it and it should be rendered in a little over a day total.
Sadly, this is the second year in a row this has happened to our team. But next year....We'll be prepared! :-)
