I feel you've left us hanging for quite some time already and I've lost interest on a personal level.
Sorry about that, it took a week to render, (It finished while I was on vacation) and that was after lots and lots or tweaking. The problem is that while a single screen shot looked good, when I animated it flickered like crazy. It took awhile for me to find the right settings to get a good animation. And because it was so slow to make just a few seconds, it was a long process.
Since my last post I had to convert the final render (24GB in size) to MPEG2, and again, lots of tweaking to find a good balance between quality and file size. I'm not an expert at 3DS Max and MPEG2 encoding so it's been a lot of trial and error for me.
Now, today I'm working on slowing the rotation down as it's too fast.
Basically, I didn't anticipate how slow 3D rendering and how large the files would be and it's taking me days to do things that normally took hours.
