Passed it! (Rainbow experiments)

[Dune]

Not even if you put the line of nodes into the interior of one final 'handler node'?

Thanks dandelO for explaining it here,
I somehow thought it was already somewhere.
Dune, tell me how to create a handler node and I´ll try it. I have no idea where to look.
If it works this would be a great inclusion to my update, which is meant to include more realistic proportions and a real restriction to a ring, because in many settings the "forcefield-effect" gets quite strong.
Thats what I like about TG, you can use a piece of someone elses work, go on with it and create something new.
Of course this is true of all artforms, but here it feels more like cooperation than plagiarism.
Therefore I hope to make my rainbow more useful.
Best regards,
Jan

my first animation, sorry for the low detail.



Ah, damn, flickr makes a jpg of my animated gif.

Put it through Blender. Blender can encode video in any format you  have the codec for.

[Mahnmut]

Its more a problem of uploading than of encoding. I think.
Can anyone tell me the best way of loading a short animation (22images) up to this forum?

[cyphyr]

I use Vimeo for everything.
If its a very short anim try adding a sec of black to the front and back of the anim.

Imageshack hosts .gif fine.

[Mahnmut]

ok, thanks.
I am just trying to make it small enough for an attachment, the quality is really low anyway.

There it is!
click it, it moves.

Dune, tell me how to create a handler node and I´ll try it.

It's just any node (surface shader or color adjust shader...) If you have your stream of nodes, copy them all, then right click on this 'handler' choose 'internal' and you'll get an empty page. Paste your nodes there. Go one level up again, and then attach the last of the internal nodes to whatever input you want. A plus sign on the node will tell you it has things inside. Maybe this could help. I hope I told you clear enough.

[Mahnmut]

Thanks Dune, I will try that!

[dandelO]

Good idea but, as it's made from cloud layers, container nodes won't work, even putting all the layers inside the last cloud layer doesn't work. It's a tricky one.

[Mahnmut]

What a pity, so still no rainbow to go.
dandelO, you are to fast !
But have you noticed my great HD-animation by the way?
At least the rainbow can be easily restricted to an arc now, forcefields only for those who need them.
