Rendering procedure and questions

[wt200999]

Is it allowed in the rules to use another program (I'd end up using pramier in that case) to do that stuff? As far as video post I have glow effects (and star effects ) in that.

The 18 computers are all just the ones in our tech lab on the network, I could probibly use them over a weekend or something, all have only 1 gb of ram and a not dual core processor. I might end up brining my new computer in to help out in that case, make it even faster. (dual core, 2 gig ram )

So far with video post I have found what I have so far in it easy to do, your saying I can just render all the other stuff seperatly and add them to my video post? That would probibly be the way to go for me. That would also make it more flexable, render one scene, tweak it to my likeing, then do another, then finally the one with video post, and add sound. I'll look into the video post somemore.

The skylight, when I added it to this scene took a while to render. Im testing out the mr sky and me sun right now.

I dont think I will do bucket rendering for this, sounds like a good method though if I had 8 higher end machines. For this I will probibly just net render. Do all of the computers need to have 3ds max on it? I will look into this more. Thank you all very much.
