could anything more go bad this year???? plz god render our render farm scene

this week was very harsh on me and on our team as a whole :( i also had work this week which wasnt at the best of times as i could of used my pc to render =( the monday and tuesday we spent the main of it lighting all the rooms i finished off the textures in the main room so that was all done. on the wensday the lads came in to start rendering the scenes. unfortunely ive been so busy i havnt had the time to do any more screen pics to post up here but u can see some of the lighting shots on ash's spence and stews wall. on wensday we renderd out the basement i think. and thursday we renderd out the corrider and the study. all these are all renderd out now and they look superb.Spence started on the music for the basement bit and so far i think its done and in my eyes i think is is awesome and spence put alot of time in this. we had maya corruption on our main room so we had to load up some old files thanks of ashley for doing this we had to re import the study and corrider into the main room rdy for rendering which took a while to set up again as we had to do all the lights again. whenever we rednerd out the main room on our pc's at college of the main room they would always just stop which wasnt nice as i was rending some important frames.when it came friday when we knew we wouldnt make it jarred gave us an extenstion which was nice of him but i didnt see the point as we cant come into college on the weekend anyway to see if our rendering worked. so we kinda stuffed anyways. hopefully when we come in monday morning the render farm might of done it . me and ash but up alot of back up renders in render farm so if they dont do 1 or 2 there is still mine that might workworst case senario is we hand in just the study and basement and corrider in but we spent alot of time abd effort into our amazeing main room. it would be a shame not to include it and skip it. if all goes bad next yr ill render it out again just for the sake of our team and for our showreeklim exhasted and very upset the entire group feel the same way. its not nice when your render in render farm gets randomly killed for no reason. there are a few groups in the same situwation as us and they feel just as bad if not worse. what we could do to make our thing be ok would be ste play blasts the rest if the animation and we just import that in to fill in the blanks which isnt a bad idea wont look good but oh well for now it will still show our modeling skills and craftsmens ship of an detailed room.but monday is hand in day end of and i hope jarred can allow us to hand it in at the end of a normal college day or depending how the render farm gets on,i cannot say no more. as im not at college and none of us will never no if the render farm did ever render our final scenes its a real shame as honestly we have the nicest if not the best most detailed real life realistic enviorment i think anyone has ever done on maya at this college for this year.this will be my second to last update now. then this blog will probs be over for me depending on the project next yr depends as i do like writing on it lol. on monday hopefully ill post the final movie on here and a final conclusion.... see u monday team

If you like, we can sponsor your render and do this one free in return for some mention of us at your school. I know it's too late to hand in, but at least you'll see it rendered out.
