Calendar based, but simpleGnash - thnks all. I think what I need is ability to create and edit lists and then categorise items on the lists. And maybe select items to make a ticket / to-do.Fax_Benson

You can download the 3D model of the island from Disney's Moana, along with a volume grid of the clouds they use.
The cloud is 2GB (which contains lower-res versions) and the island data is 45GB (90GB+ unpacked), with the pbr materials another 6GB (40GB+).

The clouds are neat and you can get interesting fx by changing the channel mapping - smoke, fire etc. Tempted to try the island, but I fear my work machine may burst into flames and melt down to the earth's core just attempting to open the fucking thing.

- Neat to read that, it's rendering on an entirely industrial level. Our scenes (occasionally) top out at 7-10Gb, so 100+ with lighting is the stuff of madness.face_melter

- I've used it teaching After Effects. Gave the kids the letters (there's a font with the construction lines) and let them reveal animate the constructions.uan
