Chopin

ENSONIQ5:
The texture on the balustrade is a huge improvement and makes a bigger impact on the realism of the image than I would have expected!  Looking forward to seeing the birds animated, morphs + boned movement can produce some wonderful effects.

The only thing I would comment on now, do you indend to leave this as the camera angle?  The balustrade looks cut off by the camera plane in the foreground.  If this is not the case, and the balustrade actually ends here, the texture is stretched on the end face and should be realigned.  My inclination would be to move the camera very slightly upwards, so the balustrade continues below the camera, as if the camera was resting on the balustrade itself.

Thank you ENSONIQ5, when I have rendered some flying I'll put it up on my web site and link to it.

The camera is at a fixed position for the whole animation which in short is a moment in the lives of a he and she little bird attracted to the scene by the sound of Chopin's romantic music.
It starts with she walking in from the left, sitting for a moment while flipping tail up and down (pic above), walks to the very tip of the branch (240.jpg) listens for a moment and loosing her footing, falling while spreading wings and tail and flying before hitting the floor, making a U-turn in flight (308.jpg) and landing on the balustrade, and so on....

The whole action field is the branch where she is sitting on and the top of the balustrade. Therefore the balustrade is cut and I left the stretched face in front on purpose. If the balustrade ended at the current cut point I would have to put in the third side which would obscure much of the "stage".

So far I have animated and rendered 1 min 4 sec of 4 min 5 sec of music. Usually I animate and then make the music to fit the action, this time it is the other way around for I cannot have my little birds doze off when the music has a crescendo ;)

I put up a short video of the flying, it's rather poor quality but I have to keep my bandwidth in mind also :

Chopin, a tribute

I hope you'll enjoy it anyway and thanks for watching. For those who don't know the music you can listen to it as well.

Oh!  Too bad, my browser needs some settings changed to view your work.

May be you can post a short clip on youtube.

Sorry Indian8or, it's a block I have in place to prevent scrapers and bad bots to get into my site.

I have removed this block temporarily so you should have no problem accessing the page now ;)
