Hey,
Here’s a little animation I’m fiddling with. Sorry, it’s a bit small, but that’s the format the client’s getting…
Tell me what you think.
4.8 mb. (Yeah, I know, Divx…)
great work …what are your rendering times ?
Thanks Natty! I think it’s around 1-2 minutes per frame…
1-2 minutes per frame??? Using what, a render farm?
I dig the background of the exterior part. Do you mind sharing how you achieved this?
Fabulous. Nice work. very clean, nice light balance.
Congrat.
Ditto on the 1-2 minutes per frame…wow…using a saved IR map? Even so that’s pretty fast!
Very nice though - congrats.
Holy shit!!
that looks awesome! superb renderings and animation.
please share your settings and any major problems you encountered along the way.
Thanks
TonyM
Wow, thanks for your comments! Yeah, rendertimes are based on a saved irrmap on a single computer, dual 2.4mhz. Well, it is only 320x240…
Corey: Regarding the camera match:
1. Rent a crane and place it at the exact location of the apartment to be.
2. Take a full panorama, and stitch the pictures to form a cylindrical map.
3. Place a cylinder around your model, flip normals, and move the horizon so it reaches the horizon of your MAX-camera.
4. place the map in the reflection environment tab, and adjust output until glass looks good.
5. Render model and background seperately, and combine in PS.
6. If needed, replace sky with better one, and coloradjust so it matches the render.
You can find some hires in another thread of mine.
TonyM: No troubles really - made good use of the excellent irrmap viewer to merge maps. Otherwise my only problem was, as allways, that you can’t exclude objects from skylight (glass + background)…
The sun is very orange and a multiplier of 3.4.
damn this is nice !
SUPER work =)
thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated.
TonyM
TJE,
Thanks. Very nice work!
Corey
very nice work indeed… (did you realy rent a crane !!! :lol: 
)
Sure, we do that on almost every project that’s within range.
Fabulous work Thomas. The only thing that’s not so nice is some vertical lines flickering a bit. what are your AA settings for animations?
Thanks,
Gijs
