Title: Kronos Canyon
Post by: Tangled-Universe on June 20, 2012, 05:48:26 PM
Based on an older render and as a test for GI cache back then...some glitches here and there, but didn't feel up to rendering it again as it still took quite a while despite the GI cache. Framerate has been lowered and interpolated using Kronos, done by DutchDimension. Thank you very much Danny!

Nicely done :)
I remember this from a little while back as being "crisper". Is the Vimeo whacked quality responsible for the "softness" or is that down to Kronos interpolation?

Thanks Richard,

That's mostly from Vimeo's compression unfortunately :(
I suppose as a premium member you will hav more control over that?

Nice animation Martin !
Looked like that there could be a narrator coming at any moment from the corner  :)

The canyon is very detailed, T-U. Your deserts always look real to me.

Quite nice. One thing that's good about Vimeo is it does allow you to (optionally) download the original file that was uploaded. I do see softness in the original as well, so I suspect it's due to the processing, or perhaps just the low-ish resolution. It would be amazing to see this at 1080p! What were frame render times like Martin, do you recall?

Also, while the slow camera is cool, I would *love* to see a "pod race" style fast camera move through there with lots of crazy turns and fun motion blur. :D

I was looking for Rango.  Where is he?   ;D

Nice canyon and good surface work as usual.  Some rolling tumbleweeds and some geeky characters running around...maybe next time.   :P

Good job.  And glad you're posting.
