T'amber may be a silly cunt, but he has posted loads of pretty good still 3d stuff in the past and clearly has a measure of creative skillz in a few areas.
Asking how hard it'd be to create an animation with effects from some models he's already made/skinned/wiredup is a pretty reasonable request and even discounting how massively vapid 99% of what he does or says is, I suspect he has a fair idea what he's undertaking.
That said, T'amber: you are still, and will remain, a silly cunt. Xx

Ok thanks to RockCalledSteve he is like the holy grail for this project.
Pretty much everything I wanted to know he has or is in the process of telling me.
\o/ Still going to take forever.
Seems like RockCalledSteve isn't very patient with me so back to trying to figure this stuff out myself.
I managed to get the nebulae maps realigned into 6 star compatable cubemap and then converted them into a spherical map (Mental Ray doesn't seem to like the Reflect/ Refract shaders) instead of placing each image onto a cube face (although I will retry this tonight). End result isn't bad, but its not awesome either.
edit - just realised that the environment map is recieving shadows for some reason which is why it looks so odd (the stars disappear as they have no inherent luminance)
Ok found a new method to render images.
Output of images now down to about 15 frames a second rather than 1 frame every 5mins.
A scene that took me 29hours last week was done in almost real time.
Picture on the left rendered with my 4 video cards and the one on the right with my quad core phenom.

Nice work.
Rendering with dedicated graphics cards?! Mind = blown
Most rendering in a 3d program uses very little of your video card unless its a proper dedicated card. I'm just using the viewport and DX shaders now so that it does use my gaming cards - I wish someone had pointed out that this was possible before I never knewRendering with dedicated graphics cards?! Mind = blownThere are obviously some restrictions but I think I can get around these by using a combination of both methods.
Stupid double posting.
