First Light!

My first render with Vue 6. It ain't much, but it's something.

I'm still feeling my way around in the program. To try and make the process a little easier on myself, I ordered training DVDs from Safe Harbor, but they STILL HAVEN'T SHIPPED THEM TO ME!!! ARGH!!!!!

So it looks like it's a slog through the ol' manual for me. :(

Today I received a new book, Windows into the Earth, co-written by Bob Smith (yeah, I know) who is the consulting geologist on this project. The book tells "The geologic story of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks," so it's a perfect resource for me. Plus, it's filled with those little sciency illustrations of rock layers and whatnot which I plan to steal from liberally use for inspiration for my animations.
