Render #22 (animation test bottom page 8)

....and OT back at ya, stinkie : try animation with the (almost) one thousand dollar unbiased packages (Fry,Maxwell): it's a no go.

@Remus: the above small animation was rendered @5 minutes per frame with a framerate of 10fps (which normally should be 25fps for fluid animations).....so go do the math

Heck..I'll do it for you: 10 seconds of animation = 100 frames X 5 min. per frame= 500 minutes= 8 hours

Interesting stuff Chris.

Cheers kwist, looks like the long render time paid off Id hate to think aobut the render times if you had anything complex in there though

kwistenbiebel

Thanks Sepo and Remus.

This is the typical quality at real size I am getting per frame, rendered for 5 minutes:

When you keep the render size small like this, the quality/speed ratio is reasonable.
Not too shabby for an unbiased engine.

Very good job but the music almost killed me!

FFD is free by the way just look it up

@Lapx,

In this scene FFD ('FreeFormDeformation') wasn't used, although it could have been useful.
Instead the following was used:

Subdivide and smooth: (see smustard website).
JointPushPull
Surface tools

Those 4 plugins make a fine combo for non-orthogonal modeling.

A preliminary animation as a preview for the full version:

igor

so let me get this strait, you had to render EVERY SINGLE FRAME in that animation?!?!?!?!?!
holy crap! that must've taken forever!!!
great animation BTW

kwistenbiebel

The tweens in the beginning and at the end are made from stills.
The middle part was indeed rendered frame per frame. That took something less than 30 hours.
Thanks for the comment.

remus

Good stuff kwist, i tihnk we should put together a fund to get you a renderfarm, youd be able to do so much cool stuff!

Kwist , Nice work.
I would just like to point out that most of the scenes here could be achieved
much easier with a slide movie editor. Before I used pinacle studio and later pro
show producer. Most of the actions here are actually pan or zum in and zoom out. The
short sequences that would then remain could then be rendered at a higher resolution.

kwistenbiebel

Thanks Remus and Mateo.

@ Mateo: that's a good tip, thanks.
The most difficult thing would be matching the quality of the still tweens (panning and zooming) with the quality of the actual anilmation frames.

I love the texturing on this building- especially the concrete structure underneath- it looks weathered- nice work!

Jorgensen

Look great.

Typical - give you a new toy and you come up with some magic stuff

I'm a great fan of your work. All your renders have somekind of magical touch. Can you reveal some of secrets ? (like post processing in PS )

Thanks

princedragoncok

Likewise, i'm a big fan of your work. Always looking forward to your next render

kwistenbiebel

Thank you. That's too kind.

remus

I tihnk i prefer the vray one, looks a bit more lively somehow, i thik t might be the sky...

Slight crit as well in the texture mapping on the window frames, i reckon itd be improved if you just mappedsome straight grain textures on to it, or even the same texture yu used for the main building, just not projected on, kinda spoils the look a bit for me, although im just nit-picking really

kwistenbiebel

I understand.
I wanted to make the upper body as 'mono-material' possible though, but I agree the frames could have used a different texture projection/scale.

Ok, I meant subdivide
