It looks great...could you post some of the technical details like ....GI, render times, version of VRAY used, etc

Well congratulations!
I've always been an admirer of the series and this trailer promises a great improvement! Especially on fur. Are you using, let's say, a standard VrayHairMaterial or do you have something special?
