Since it came up, here is an image sequence showing 1 hour of rendering time on R2.
The image rendering is slightly larger than HD at 1920x1280.
One thing that's cool about Maxwell is the render preview which appears in the lower left corner: this image appeared, finished, after just a couple of seconds, and is usually enough to judge the entire render by for tests. The renderer continually refines the image, pass by pass, converging on a cleaner and cleaner image as it goes. You can stop it manually, whenever you feel the noise level in the image is acceptable, or after a predetermined amount of time has passed or "sampling level" reached. It's up to you.
I didn't see those costumes, no... there were a ton of costume things in cabinets along the back wall, but honestly I was too distracted by the props, models and matte paintings; plus about a billion lightsabers and guns just piled up on this one shelf in the back.

Were the 8' ISD II and 5' Millenium Falcon there? What about the Executor and the Death Star II?

Death Star II was there, but no Falcon or ISD. A lot of stuff is on tour, but also, there are 3 storage facilities - the main one on the Ranch, and 2 others. We ended up visiting one of the other 2 as well, but it was 90% PT stuff - the entire Tantive set was there in shrinkwrap - but also a few choice OT things, like the original Darth Vader helmet mould, R2's arms, etc..

Hey Mike,
Yes, they are on tour, here in Portugal, at Lisboa (Lisbon) until 14 January.
I didnAât go there yet, but I am planning to. :cool:
Nice bit of texturing there! Is it set up so you can change the colors easily (for Artoo's siblings) or is it "R2-D2 only"?
Actually I spent about 3 minutes on this... loaded the nacelles, dragged a texture from R2's body on to it, plus some blue from his booster covers and some black from his holoeye and hit Render. I didn't even UV it
But generally speaking, R2's maps are very specific...

He also juggles flaming batons in his spare time...

Take care, mate.
Getting there...
Still have the middle foot to do, so I can do 3-leg renders, plus a number of other painting refinements.
