Its comming along very nicely!. However, when she puts the arrow in the bow it kinda looks like she brokes her arm. I took a pic to show it http://puu.sh/3svif.png. I think the problem may be that the bow is standing too close to her body when putting the arrow on it. Other than that, awesome work!
You also have to be careful with how you layout the hidden edges (in max at least) some exporters choose to redo the tri-striping which could change the twists in the rope. Triangulating the mesh before export takes care of that problem (turn to poly > 3sided polys).

If I would build up my system now i would get one of theese intel SDD's combined with a common HDD. a…
Well, got something workable. This is before cleaning up the horizon. Worked OK, though the ball has a noticeable seam and it's kind of lumpy here and there. Not a worry for the current project, I'm painting out the land entirely. Only have a 5mp camera, so the src is max 2592x1944 res. Doesn't matter that much though…
