We're finally going to be able to make progress with rendering. The use of the 16 and 32 bpc exrs (even though they were rip mapped) were taking up too much ram and clogging the 8gb. Since disk access are down, we'll also be able to speed up per frame times.

These shots are really rough comps.... be nice.
