- vue is out - paint effects is in. one less package to integrate into pipeline. I ran some tests rendering with mental ray and maya.
- render out clouds as separate layer passes - maybe in .exr format so to control exposure? clouds are all about exposure.
- mix in terragen render of clouds to use as image plane cards with maya clouds. Retrieve temp. alpha file generated by terragen to use as mask.

for animatic for thurs. presentation:
- need to pop in current models of tortoise and island.
- need to model integration point between shell/island.
- add some particle effect stand-ins for bird-flocking and waterfalls.
- add secondary motion to blocked out shots and add spatial curvature to camera motion path.
