Title: A new animation : Sunsets
Post by: Nico3333fr on April 11, 2010, 10:00:46 AM
Hi guys,

I've rendered a scene with 2 suns, water a a lot of rays... (not necessary to tell you how long it took...  8) )

Here is the result : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B4hMcH1H4Q&feature=email
Or you can download it here : http://www.nicolas-hoffmann.net/source/animations-terragen2-terragen-apophysis.php (better quality than Youtube)

See you,
Nico  ;)

Very good, just the one crit, I'd have preferred the suns to rise slowly rather than just "jump" up and then stay still. How long did it take to render and what is your machine spec?

Very nice - smoothly animated and the clouds look quite high quality. Well done!

Yea, the suns leap and then stop. That's my only real quibble. Quite enjoyable and nice.  8)

Very nice animation, I love the style. While it's not at all realistic, the way the suns "pop" up at the beginning has a real artistic flair, and it's the kind of thing that would be a a lot more difficult to do with regular film footage, which makes this an ideal expression to be realized in 3D like this. The rest of the anim has great color, nice rays, etc., the only negative I see is a TG2 problem which is the insufficient occlusion of the suns (debatable in this case as the clouds don't seem that thick).

Great work.

Looks like "System" with it set to a light red color + red glow effect.

Also, great animation, liked it a lot.
