Shortest. Cameo. Ever.

A lesser eternity of modeling, texturing, animation (yeah, the centrifuge spins), and... two pages of medium long shots. For The Dualist, anyway - the ship lasts a bit longer in DCR.

Still, lots of work. Lots of work that's emblematic of why production on TV and DCR has ground to a complete halt - weeks and weeks of CG for bits and pieces of short scenes.... the environments pay for themselves in terms of overall time saved, but the ships? Sometimes I wonder.

On the upside, I've learned enough over the years to have steered clear of modeling this one down to the rivets. :)

Oh, and an HRV is a Holt Rischmann Variance... or an AEI fluctuation, if you want to go oldschool.
