My first video!

<< < (4/6) > >>

ENSONIQ5:
One problem with the clouds could be that lighting does not pass through transparencies in Anim8or, ie the front trans map will be totally blocking all illumination other than Ambient from the ones behind.  Adjusting the Emissive colour and value will provide an apparent illumination that is independent of actual scene lighting, not particularly accurate but might provide the look you are after.

Also, nice modelling and animation, and great to see you are willing to take the advice of others.  Your model has improved considerably as a result of ADSohr's advice.  Great work, keep it up.

CoriDavis:
Yay! thanks. my planned uses for the anim8or program is making various movies.  I'm starting with this one, and my next project will be a very long movie based on a book I wrote.  Don't worry about rendering, I use the "render bits and pieces" strategy, which I will have to use for this video because of how many different views it will have.  (that and my models are typically medium to high poly)

davdud101:
Would that be because you subdivide a lot, or just generally use a lot of polys?

CoriDavis:
nope, I rarely subdivide unless I absolutely need to.  for the palm tree, I subdivided only the top part where the spikes are, if you notice how the spikes are alternating, like bricks on a house, and not just stacked. I did that by subdividing and then deleting the lines in between to make the pattern. so really, I subdivided, and then un-subdivided it. but it still made it over 1000 polys.  either way, it looks good.

ADSohr:
For things like that it may be easier to use sudivide faces instead. Then it won't end up being too high poly.
