    Odd. I like the lighting, though!

    Didn't happen again so... A ways to go yet but getting there


    It'll be interesting to see how this ends up.

    Hopefully something like this once I get the adaptive sampling render settings right :)

    Is an eight hour + render for 174 frames so I'll have another go around overnight

    So it's an animation?

    Scene from a short (indi) film

    I want to try a simple animation in DS. Car going up hill on a mountain...trees and road and some foreground grass and weeds that stick up and pass by as the camera keeps pace with the car. I don't know if I can do it or not. I want to use pwToon on the scene, too.

    You're right, such timing is quite rare.

    Sounds really do-able in Studio, do yourself a favour and render in lowest possible rez while you get the movements right :)

    We call it the five o clock flash here (winter time) when the sun is below the clouds but just above the horizon so clouds are lit from below :)

    After all that wind shaking stuff around a paltry few drips of rain from what sounds like a thunderstorm somewhere high and far away isn't what you would call spring rain, our roses are looking thirsty already . That is my complaint. hehe gots to be careful what you wish for :lol:

    Tweaked Genesis 2 Friends Forever model with an Aiko character applied. I loved the Friends Forever actor and had to find a place for her, she's going to be a few people here and there. Don't know why I like her so much, I'm just weird... :red:

    Morning. Wild night giving way to storm tossed day, lots of trash everywhere in the street but no damage and no rain. Storm moved east during thenight, the western sky is all blue and placid looking :)

    Good morning - glad you didn't blow away!

    Stepped out of Whataburger with my cup of tea and got a fat rain drop right between the eyes. Only one dark cloud in sight, the rest is bright blue sky and poofy white clouds.

    It was waiting for you!!! :ahhh:


    Waiting in ambush!

    Mean old rain drop! :long:

    I've done a few brief animations.. yeah, 320x240 is good to check motion and such, run with a high shading rate to start, beware fancy lighting and high reflection counts.

    I've done flybys at 30fps, 10 seconds, that took 45 min to render - which is decent for any render engine. Your proposed scene is far more complex, though, and will take quite some time I imagine.

    DS's Timeline is a PITA, it needs ease-in/ease-out curves for motion but you can fake it with a carpload of keyframes.

    Best of luck! :coolsmile:

    Not to be rude but to the person who complained that my character in Star Wars The Old Republic is only at level 25:

    Hello? I was using a single core 1.8 GHz computer and an old video card. The minimum specifications for SWTOR is a 2 GHz dual core computer with an nVidia 7800 or better. The game pauses every 2 minutes. Plus, I am a free to play customer who receives experience points at a lower rate. Everyone else on Tatooine is two or three levels above me. Also, I've been busy studying. Please don't be so judgmental. Thank you.

    *steps off soap box*
