aaah, gotcha

You're not the first person who's said that, though. I've now thought about re-doing it to make him jump a bit, but rendering slows my computer right down and I have other stuff to be getting on with really :(

Render over-night?

Tried that, the fans are loud and have bright blue LEDs which make it hard to get a proper nights sleep :lol:

I used to have little bits of cardboard and masking tape to go over the LEDs for precisely that reason.  You get used to the fan noise after a while.  Ah the happy memories of sleeping in office as we tried to render commercials overnight on our SGI Octanes and O2s: makes me almost nostalgic. ;)  :?

you people turn computers off?

got to try that once :P

Yep, I hate big electric bills! My computer's a bit of a beast, probably a huge electricity hog haha. Hoping to downgrade to an iMac or Macbook after uni if I can afford it. Going 2nd hand of course as the new prices on apple stuff are pretty ridiculous.
