Val Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 wow! questions: Is it rendered from houdini, without compositing or color correction? Is your background also full CG.. (or did you use picture-matte painting)? It Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoki Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thanks guys yep this is straight out of mantra all was done in one day there is no painted elements in all is cg and no compositing tweaks I am quite happy with result I will try to compose it in Houdini and make a movie out of it z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoki Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 cool how do you do that? can we do it when we post or is it something for admin? z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 the best way to do it is to make a thumbnail of your image then edit your post so that the image is a link to your full size image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal123 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 here is the movie! 28684[/snapback] I remember when one from ILM said something like that: if something looks good on still doesn't meant that animation will be good. Sorry Zoki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO-oo- Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Zoki - nice ambience. I think the clip is to short, maybe you can show a little bit more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoki Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Thanks leo yes i know its just a test nothing special but i am so excited about this i3d posibilities!!! its amazing procedure z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altbighead Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I remember when one from ILM said something like that: if something looks good on still doesn't meant that animation will be good.Sorry Zoki 28695[/snapback] what are you talking about man? If you think something isn't working , give him a suggestion and critique. You don't need to bring up some unknown quote from ILM. Way to put down fellow artist work .

Jason Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 This is nice but it seems to lack a good sense of scale. It might be the compression of the movie file but it seems to get blurry at the horizon and this is reading to me like a short Depth Of Field. I'm not sure how you're doing the atmospheric haze but you might want to consider checking out using exponential fog.

zoki Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 thanks guys this is all done with very low setings but of course this is not meant to be excuse for bad rendering/lighting I am doing now other clouds scene where I try to come as close as posible to real clouds Jason: I am using vex zdepth fog for distance and there was also dof on horizon but sampling in mantra was very low I will try to use this exp. fog also! Can you guys tell me please what would be the best strategy for animating clouds growth and transformation- over geometry instanced with metaballs or through particles and metaballs? altbighead: thanks man! thanks z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peliosis Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hi Zoki, Overall I like it, but there are some minor things you could quickly enhance. You almost got the climate in the still, the animation looses it a bit. Jason is right about the scale, it seems like you are focusing on some non existent subject close to the camera, therefore I felt a bit concerned instead of focused on the depth of your landscape. Try using much lower blur and achieve the persective feeling with a slight haze. Blur is misleading since there is nothing in the forground. Also I expect such scenery to convey a bit doomed and dark feelings, uncertainity, but the clouds are moving very chaotically and the light is distracting. You could try lowering their speed to make them more monumental and align their movement directions. Also to add depth you could use forced paralax, the clouds in the forground should move faster than the background ones. Dont you dare to touch the colours though, they're great! Good work, keep it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
