        For future reference, the quick answer is the "scene delay" in the animation properties of the model.

        If this is set to say, 2 seconds, then the first scene will show for 2 seconds before moving on... Which means that at 30fps Vray will render 60 images that are exactly the same before it starts moving.

          that's what went wrong...
          but i have just finished my crit today so...XD it is a bit late

          but thnx anyway!!
          it is very helpful, at least i know what went wrong
          so what is usually the normal time setting for [scene delay] and [frames per second]????

            The scene delay should be 0 (almost always, unless you WANT there to be a pause between scenes)

            The rest is trickier. 30 frames per second will give you nice, smooth animation, so generally leave it at 30 if you can.

            To get an idea of how many frames Vray will have to render, multiply the number of scenes by the scene transition - i.e. if you have 12 scenes and the transition time is 3s, then the length of the animation will be 3x12=36s long.

            The number of frames then is 36x30=1080.

            Obviously you can tailor the length of your animation to suit, (1 minute / 12 scenes: 60/12=5 - scene delay should be 5 seconds). You can then adjust the frames per second in Vray to suit your needs whether it's a draft, nice and smooth, or in a hurry for a crit 😄

            The higher the FPS the nicer the animation, but the longer the render time. Human eyes cant really notice anything higher than 30fps.

            Hope that helps, sorry for late reply! I have some time now so will hang out here a bit more frequently 😄

                I use VirtualDub 1.8.1 for making and processing films from single frames and Wax 2.0 for editing the result, adding transitional effects etc. Both are freeware, powerful and very well designed.

                    hi,

                    I would like to know what to optimum hardware is to have short render times, in order to create movies such as described above.

                    thanks

                        Also, at work, I've grabbed hold of all the old computers which has been replaced by newer models. Instead of throwing them away I've hooked them up to a renderfarm. It's only five old P4 2.6GHZ-3.2GHZ comps, but they sure help when deadline is looming.
