Quick shop animation WIP

[tricky]

No I mean it looks like the whole wall (about 3m wall) is sliding from right to left behind the furniture

Mmmm. Not sure what you mean. I have a mirrored wall in there, and the camera is just tracking past it, so what you are seeing is the reflection of the sofa behind you. Whilst setting up the shot, I had a conversation here in the office about it being very weird with the archviz stuff that we do:- reflections never show a camera tripod/camera. Might be quite nice to see that.

very nice I think its redwall company ? I did some animation in brazil renderer about 5 years ago for them...
Any chance of posting settings for your anim? what specs where your render farm for 30 mins a frame.


thanks!

OK now I get it!
I wasn't focusing on the foreground of the mirror, I was focusing on the white wall behind the couch in the reflection which I didn't notice is a reflection and didn't even notice the mirror (maximised screen and staring close at it) It makes sense now and looks even better now that I noticed the fingerprints on the mirror

Sorry about that.

Nice!

Agree with the burnt out/over exposed comments that others have said & the ending is a little abrupt - but all in all really lovely!

vimeo quality a lot better. do you have smears on the mirror reflection?
or does my screen need cleaning!

lol

Not exactly sure, but a mix of dual quad xeons and dual dual core xeons. Only 4GB ram in them!!

I know! It only starts to become an issue when we have lots of plants and things though.

ahh comments like that make me feel old.. 4gb is LOADS... isnt it?! anyone?! dammit all my skills of rendering forests in 32 bit max, balancing the raycaster parameters so it didnt crash are worth exacly diddly squat now.

lol poor super gnu, we all still appreciate the skills though!

Tricky that must have taken a good few days non-stop rendering with those machines? I suppose since it is broken into separate camera pans you could render it out in sections. Vimeo quality does look much better by the way.

It's never occurred to me about having no camera in the reflection, good point! Not sure about putting in a CG cameraman though, would be quite odd to see... but different I suppose

Managed to get it rendered over one weekend, so it worked out quite nicely.
