The animation is almost ready to head to final render. Right now we're still missing some effects, the belly squishing on the floor, plus the belly bulges from the prey inside. That'll require moving the project to another program called Houdini, which is what we'll be doing starting tomorrow.
I'm not exaggerating when I say Maya must have crashed 20 times today when I was laying the final touches to this. I have some possible solutions lined up and I'll be exploring those when the render is complete, I'll have help with that, so even if the crashes persists just sitting there cooking animation frames, I'll be able to complete it.
Worst case scenario I'm going to reinstall everything from windows on up, I'll keep you updated!
