Disaster TIME: WIPs

I don't think I will make the dead line by Dec 20. Each of my frames will take about 1 hr and so far all I have is 15 seconds. So when I start to render it will take about 18 days and that's with no sound.

Hmm

Well that is a bummer!   Try: taking out your bump maps, reducing the size of your textures, and dropping off the aa.

Are you rendering at 640 by 480? That's large enough.

A lot ofn the time aa is wasted on youtube.

Also, if you have parts of objects that don't need to cast shadows, eg a landscape under a house, make them seperate meshes and makes sure only receive shadows is ticked - not cast shadows.

it all helps.

Thanks Francesco. You are very observant! I do my meshes aand modelling and texturing in anim8or cause it is a great program But sometimes I do my renders in Carrara. Carrara has something called volumetric shadows that you can set up, so you can simulate a beam of light and a shadow in that beam of light.  It also has a light cone effect which I used as well.

Manic archer had a great tutorial on the old old org site but I can't fins it I'm sorry, but he achived a similar effect!

Have you seen

? It has some great stuff.

cheers

Ahh, too bad I don't have any other stuff to play with than Anim8or... I think I'll dig that tutorial and I'll do my own trial and error - as usual.

Thanks for the pointer, and about Carrara... don't worry, I won't tell anyone ;)

Cool works by the way, put apart one of those metronomes for me, I love it.

640 x 480 will speed things up but when reduce the aa to 9 it looks a little grainy, but i guess when it's moving you won't see it as much. I render stills just to see what it will look like at certain points.

Thanks!
