- Lots of wireframes....Low-Res QuickRender of every other frame played back

- Only recently (after purchase of LW 3.5 Standalone) have I started to render

- days doing test renders, it's a LOT easier to take than rendering for weeks
- only to find annoying little errors!

- Most of my work is still not-for-pay but these are "rules" that would
- certainly help in a corporate environment.
