Feel like giving up.

I feel like giving up .... but I put together a quick Archangel to try out some lights. edit: I felt like giving up because after calculating the time it would take to render out the movie, I found that the total time required (250 - 300 hours) was a bit longer than I had expected and after numerous attempts to keep the per-frame render time down, my labor was yielding pitifully small results. I've finally alleviated the problem however by removing my machine from the rendering arena and placing that in the hands of outsourced agents, a network renderfarm. The cost is relatively managable and the returns are far quicker. I don't plan on quitting the project. I apologize for the mix up. (Thank you for the comments, however)
