Hi John, Obviously, the distance from Montreal to Hawaii has to be taken into account but one way you might consider receiving the file is thru Compuserve E-Mail. It is an especially good way to do it when the client is using 3D Studio R3 and Archives the project.. so everything is there.. the materials, etc.. and then a zipped file is sent thrue-mail to you.. Obviously for returning to client using a courier like Federal Express sounds good.. Will be curious to find out what those charges would be like for a package containing a video tape.. Interesting way of figuring the fee: >>I based .60pf on a 4 meg project file. This file had 180,000 faces, 1 reflection map, 2 shadow maps. The price is for the entire process, rendering and taping.<< If there are other services that you would like to see, please let me know. Titling? Just to let you know that some local places do not charge extra to including simple intro and extro titling.. Soundtrack dubbing? Same with including an already recorded soundtrack… But on that point it's always negotiated for a small fee.. If the recording facility is good.. Video Post? havent used it yet so cannot comment on how much extra. As for the extra charges, probably .10pf per extra ref/shdw map, or IPAS procedure. Nothing is finalized yet. I figured .60 for 2500 frames and up, 70pf below 2500 frames. Thanks again for your reply! Ok dokey.<g> by the way E-mail me for a reply and I'll send you more comments on your charges…Costs less to use e-mail than constantly going back into this forum… (I'm sure my time on this forum is paying for someones holiday to Europe<g> John, just so you dont feel to bad about being on the rock… we just got snow last night and today its overcast and 38 F..but I got the winter tires on.. OH yes… how many times I'd use it.. Up to date I've done it myself about four times in the past 6 months.. So in the new year.. who knows..sorry Bob Smith in Montreal
