WELLLLLLLLL, the time has come.  Finally I have put together a preComped render of the spider.  Got the animation from Mason last night around 5pm and started grinding out setting up all of the Renderman and Mental Ray render layers in the same file before saving two separate for the farm.  So I have finally ultimately optimized and fixed my pipeline.  I finished rendering all 12 layers or somewhere around there and comping about an hour ago.  So I would say the results came fast and I am happy with the result for the given amount of time I have put in since last night.  I am still working out a few issues with Renderman on the fur passes including reflection, mattes, etc.  So I will be working out those issues this week.  I AM SMILING THOUGH!!!  Which is a good sign with 3 weeks left for tweaking and fixing.  So here you go, ENJOY!  As always breakdown and info posts will come soon after the results postings.
