    PRODUCTION
    Modeling: Ordinary manual modeling. Rendering technique used most: Lightwave and 3ds max renderers. Average CPU time for rendering per frame: approximately two minutes. Spent almost a month rendering 7,200 frames, but the actual CPU time was about 10 days. Production highlight: Used projection mapping for textures on complex layers. Created several color-emphasized elements and composited onto the rendered images in order to maintain the image quality and save rendering time.
