In another recovered folder, I found some of the prep work for Avonlea - Paladin Revisited. These were renders that did not get included in the original post, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to bring them out a couple years after the fact. The work on this scene included some custom shading, character morphs and learning how to render panoramic scenes.
