The Turtle Renderer has always been a nice alternative to mental ray and while they seem to have found their niche in games development with their extensive baking tools options it would make sense for more independents to take advantage of some of these render time saving options for shorts and indy animated features.

I used Turtle quite extensively a number of years ago - its was a real life saver on one very tight (and critical) project.

We used it to bake it a detailed lighting pass onto in game assets - saved us a long MR render!

I used Turtle at EA and Sony a couple of years back and it was the best lighting solution for us. What's new, has anyone tried it out yet?
