Eveything is Cg. I tracked a handheld camera and I 3D scanned some Dragon Ball figures of mine.

youtube tells me your video is private

[jstrob]

Really strange... I just double checked and it's public. Where are you located?

Anyway could you see the mp4? it's the same amnimation but better quality. Normally the link should play directly in chrome.

And here is the same video on vimeo:

Very cool, at first I thought it was actual footage. I see it took a while to render though

Best regards,

Thanks Vlado!!!

The only thing eating the render time are the bubbles with motion blur.

good job!
but i'm not sure about the render times, you sent me the scene to investigate the mb bug in the frame 92 (it's fixed btw), and the scene renders VERY slow even with foam and liquid switched off.
the reason is related to the light, because just for the test i deleted all the geometry and made one simple cube with default max material, and the rendering was as slow as with the original geometry.
after that i deleted all the lights and the rendering ran like a charm.

MB problem fixed! Great! thank you Ivaylo!

You can see my render time at the bottom of each frame. At the beginning before the bubbles, it render in less than a minute but the more bubblwe there is after that the more it takes up to 5 hours I think on my slowest node. For sure I use rectangular vraylights so they are longer to render than other types of lights but it should not take long to render a cube. I will check that.

the bubbles have reflections, if the rest of the scene is slow, they multiply the time by a constant.
