Eco, listen.First off,correcting my spelling does not add to the topic,help me,you,or anyone else on this forum.In fact, the old forum was shut down because peoples posts were shorter than their signature.All that you are really doing is working up a bad reputation and polluting steve's forum.Its fine to correct peoples spelling,but as long as you are helping the topic too .Dont take this the wrong way.Everybody has to learn this lesson somehow.But I do think I remember quite clearly that hihosilver,who is not only a senior member, but also has always given me useful advice in the past,(just look earlier in this thread) telling you this same basic thing.No offence pal,just try to remember that this is not a chat room .

Ok now i managed to squeeze in a render.The lights and all are glitchy but this is just a first render.http://www.savefile.com/files/1557568

The mansion looks a bit empty, regardless it being "abandoned", so you'll have to work on that (duh )
But I liked the flickering light effect, though you might want to reduce the time between the first turn-off and the second one?
And finally, out of personal taste, I think you should use a better video compressor, I just didn't like the quality of the video .

Well tanzim um... the lights werent supposed to flicker glad you like my mistake though! Im using the intel or indeo or whatever.
Have you any idea on a better one.And i will build the house, get better lighting then furnish,texture,etc etc. It needs furniture so my mascot can kinda have something for me to animate.Im moving right now so as soon as i can get to my comp ill make an improvement and show yall. BTW there is only two lights.one in first room and one on second floor.

Sonds great and looking forward to seeing the final render.
Will have like scary stuff jumping out of wardrobes and ghosts floating round?
Like Luigi's?

[almost cool]

Well uh, Luigi's what? pizza?Toilet?

No nothing will jump out...yet.Altough my mascot,(insert witty skeletal name here), will need a family.and next time Luigi's mansion is just the kids version of Resident evil 1  (and with less mustaches and middle aged plumbers)so Luigi's mansion has a wee bit less oomp.

Well tanzim um... the lights werent supposed to flicker Sad glad you like my mistake though!

Well, learn from your mistakes and exploit them
As video compressor, I always use Windows Media Video, and have quality etc at highest, unless I'm going to do some post-production or something, in which case I'd leave the video uncompressed and later compress it using the post-production program.

i can only use indeo because now tht i try sumthin else it stops at the end of the first frame.i will try to fix the lights, i will have too re-do the cam motions because they aseem to go too fast to be scary.ill get started right now.

Good luck, you might want to download more the K Light codec pack, some of your codecs sound dodgy, but then again, not all codecs works on all computers.

My own recommendation would be DivX.  It was $20 if I recall correctly, but totally worth it.  I was having nothing but trouble with Indeo and the various others, both in terms of file size and crashes while rendering, Divx has been smooth as silk, extremely efficient in terms of file size, and never crashes.

DivX codecs are also downloadable for free on the divx website: http://www.divx.com/ . But you don't get the full package then.

I think my dad already has somethin like that on his laptop.i think it might be divx.

[cumesoftware]

Try using XVid in your post production. It is better than DivX and the quality is superb (you can't notice any difference between the original and the compressed video). Go to:
http://www.xvid.org/
Its free and open source.

I never used XVid in the intermediate files, but I think it will do. I normally use Intel YIUV for that.

well im not really settled anywhere because im moving out of state.i will have to revive this topic from a gruesome grave in two weeks.

[almost cool]
