 From the text:
In the meantime also experiments will be done with Blender itself. 
Evaluating the tools/techniques we’re going to use, and pinning down 
precisely what needs to be added to the software to make it all 
possible. That’s the part I might get slightly nervous about, but 
definitely the most interesting challenge! :) The past month’s 
improvements on Armatures and Modifiers were very welcome and have 
proven its use already. Now will have to finish work on Action & NLA, 
then move to material layering and make sure get high definition color 
support in Blender. The ultimate goal is to have our renderer recoded to 
spit out “passes” (diffuse, specular, shadow, normals, AO, etc) and 
allow built-in compositing for it (yes, a nodal editor peeks around the 
corner). That’s targeted to be available in Blender (cvs) early november.
