[ COMPLETE ] Challenge #27: War Machine
headwax:
heh that's funny arik :)
ENSONIQ5:
My final submission, so long as it isn't too much of a departure from the turntable concept. The camera does do a single full 360 degree rotation but the video does not loop, obviously. If not acceptable I will take it down and put up an earlier non-animated rotation. I figured that with the time extension I should have a go at animating the undercarriage, to make sure it worked as planned. Rendered in Carrara for speed reasons (240 frames at 1280x720px in about 2 hours... Anim8or would have taken days), modelled in Anim8or, UV mapped in Lithunwrap, 2D frame-by-frame edited in Corel, video rendered with VirtualDub (Xvid). The video is in high def (720), please select a lower resolution on the player if it runs badly.
Arik_the_Red:
hmmmm... could have had the craft land on a circular pad, which would then in turn rotate mechanically... Just time the rotation on the pad itself at 10 seconds (I do think 10 seconds should be more like 20 for the sake of easy viewing of the subject, but...)... but regardless of the rules, I like it!
Raxx:
Very nice, $imon and Ensoniq. Since your submissions weren't "looping", I guess we shouldn't worry too much about it so long as it's a turntable animation in all other aspects.
Good work so far Arik and Indian8or, looking forward to seeing the finished results ;)
ENSONIQ5:
Thanks Raxx, much appreciated, but happy to replace it with a more rigid looping animation if that's the consensus.
Arik: great idea but the submission is fixed to 10 seconds as previously discussed. The problem with going to 20 seconds is that it would unfairly restrict those who choose to render in Anim8or... 10 extra seconds of video could equal a week of rendering! My sincere hope is that Steve's apparent absence is due to his total rebuild of the render engine for V0.98. Yes, I am a 'cup half full' kinda guy!
PS: Love the idea of the tin tank, looking forward to seeing more. I am always amazed at the wide range of imaginative ideas these contests generate.
