got to be a little bit nutz to do this kix..heh but its coming out very well... another image, with some dust over the ship..not sure if it will show as well as it does in the animation. it pours down the sides as a result of the ship flying thru the sand storm :) btw I encounted a bug while doing this thats getting on my nerves..C5P wont save the "named file" for the render location...it wants to render in the eovia tmp directory or in my documents (ie the default). I have to manually set the location in the batch renders or reset it again whenever I reopen the files. I notified support.
