General Anim8or Forum / Lighting Question
« on: May 25, 2012, 10:47:37 pm »
Is it possible to animate the radius of lights?  It would be very helpful to be able to do that, but if not I can always change the color to make it appear not as bright unless anyone has other suggestions.

I did notice that my renders look more realistic now, but that could just be me

More updates: Started working on the scenery.  I added lights and some platforms, and pipes (that aren't connected to anything) all around for filler.  For the lights I added a red hue to make it look more evil (for Fromsoysauce) and only the front two are casting shadows to avoid too much work for the renderer.  I should probably add a few valves here and there on the filler pipes.

Hmm, yeah, that definitely does look scarier.  Maybe some really short spines as a ridge going down the back?  Not too much though or it might start looking cluttered.

I think I'll try out 9.7 too. I've been using .95 since I discovered Anim8or.

Wow! I really like this one!  If you want it to be demonic, maybe try using even darker colors and maybe make the eyes smaller since the bigger the eyes, the more you get a 'cute' effect.

I fixed it. I guess my radii were still too big. They are now set to 25 and 60 and this is how they look now.  They seem to be killing my overall infinite lights though.

This is when I really wish Anim8or had particles.  My clouds look so flat compared to the detailed machine.

It would also be helpful to be able to mirror groups and subdivisions or at least mirror multiple objects at once

I gained back some motivation due to having nothing else to do, especially since summer break starts next week.  Plenty of free Study Hall time.
I added the room made of cloud to put the machine in, but the reflective light from the spectra didn't turn out so well.  It just looks like a giant spew of color.  Is there a way to make the local light more... local?  I messed around with the radius settings, but it didn't really change anything. Help?

Wow, that is an interesting creature! It seems though that it should have toes if it's amphibious, but then again seals and stuff get along just fine.

Test Vid:


This is pre-textured, pre-evnironment, pre-post.

Not bad! The landing looked great, but something seemed off about the takeoff

I haven't found any way to do this or I would have done it long ago.

Thanks, the big tanks are actually for the fluid or water that would power the piston.  We worked with smaller versions of pistons in my engineering class last year. Guess I should look back at my notes to see what I need.  I can't decide if it should be a hydraulic or pneumatic piston.  Air might compress too much to push heavy metal, but liquid might not flow fast enough.  Looks like the only thing I'm missing really is a pump and I don't know where I should put it.

Any suggestions on how to make the chains?

Well I am trying to base it as much on the fic as possible.  It does show brass things in the BronyDanceParty PMV and the Rainbow Factory picture kind of looks brassy I guess.  I was going by what I imagined when I read the description and what made sense.  (and I looked up the brass thing. It can't rust, it just tarnishes)
