mirabeau: As far as I know dark_jedi_1929 is the only other Project member with Maya 7. Post your question in the Maya formum also.
Don’t make a high res render until you are absolutely finished. Most of the camera work outside the residence can be done with your drawing in a background layer. I would only need the model for close ups. The characters in your scene stay on the sidewalk. bonestructure is making a model of an interior. There the characters can be at different positions in the room and it makes for a more interesting composition so I need to render in his model instead of using layers.
Scotsman Character: The problem is the concept art work is inconsistent. I sent to and received this e-mail reply from the illustrator.

High pants. Can’t believe I did that! Sorry!
wow! It looks really good! Awesome work!
