Exterior + (temp) Sound

The Exterior sequence of Zohar HaNegev. Rendered with Mental Ray on standard resolution with low final gather and ray trace settings. At the moment a single frame takes aproximately 20-30 seconds to render on SD and about 1 minute on HD.

I have already done tests to resolve the flickering in this video.

Updated Lower Warrens Walkthrough + Sound

Below is an updated walkthrough through the lower warrens of Zohar HaNegev, it a simple playblast with a temp track. Professional actors are planned to record a better sounding narrative than the one in this clip.

Additionally, I've provided hi-res renders of the warrens. These were rendered with Mental Ray for Maya, and are using very low final gather settings. All shadows cast are using maps. I fear that the high amount of lights are slowing down the render times significantly. These renders may appear dark on some screens.
