Here is a screeny of an animation I’m working on for my demo reel.
I rendered in passes and composited in AE.
The hair was shag hair, but since I upgraded to Max 6, my edu plugins don’t work and I’m broke, so no upgrade for me right now.
very nice 
cool …are we going to see the Animation ?
If I ever finish it…of course! My old version of Max actually screwed up a bunch of the files and their backups so I am going back and reanimating the whole first scene, which was the one that was already done.
I’ll post a link to some of my prior footage when I get a chance.
Thanks for looking.
Actually, here is a small clip from that animation…it is about 5 Megs. Right click and save as:

The voice of the kid is my wife. I had to work the audio a little bit to deepen her voice, because it was still too high pitched for what I wanted. I also don’t like the Kid’s synch, but it is a cartoon, so accuracy isn’t highest priority for him.
