Work continues on the opening scene – I now have 5 rendered Maya layers to work with one or two more to go once I’ve finished working on them.

Each layer is just under 4 GB, so it’s a little slow working with such huge files – 720p, or 1280×720 resolution.

The scene is coming together quite well, although compositing is presenting some challenges of its own.  I’m compositing the scene in Nuke at the moment, with some additional effects stuff done in After Effects.  I may also composite it in Shake, just to have a comparison bettween Shake and Nuke versions…

More updates very soon.
