Professor Pasquale recommended I do a render test just to make sure that the volumetric lighting and materials work. While I couldn't get the materials for the instruments rendered, I made sure to also test how I'm going to be render (i.e. which layers I'm going to render separately and with what shadows).
I've also once again realized just how long it's going to take to render this project. I only got 42 frames of the bandshell rendered even though I'd been rendering for over 6 hours. This was with very low render settings, so I think that the 2.5 weeks I've set aside from Class 10 to Class 15 should be just about enough time to render everything in good quality.
I'm also going to have to do everything I can to optimize the scene so that I can create a USD to send to the farm, because last time I tried, my file was too big and the USD ROP crashed.
