Title: Imperial Shuttle on Korriban
Post by: gregsandor on March 27, 2008, 03:37:18 AM
I've posted a quick (6 seconds) TG2 animation of an shuttle zipping across the surface of a dead planet:

Cool man, that looks awesome :)
Like the great sense of speed.
Quality could be better, but o.k....rendering 150 frames at high res and detail is way too time-consuming :)

If this was a movie, I'd say awesome.  What I like in an image with movement is maybe a little (very little blur) on the main object and no blur anywhere else.  This might be a personal preference issue, but if the ground was all very sharp I believe it would be a better image.  Cool lighting.  Interesting perspective.

Very nice render!  It's a pity that it's so grainy on Youtube.  If you originally rendered it at higher resolution, it would be great to see it like that.  Try uploading to some other video sharing site like http://www.veoh.com/.

Great animation, love the sense of speed. Would be good if it was higher res/quality, maybe after the multithreading beta comes out.

Nice job.

I agree about the size and quality but ant TG2 animation is better than nothing. ;D

I did render at higher resolution and I will post that plus new shots.  I signed up at veoh and posted an animation,

None really come to mind.  Sorry about veoh.com - it absorbed stage6.com which didn't need its own player, so I assumed it wouldn't either.  I can think of two options that are available:
1. You could upload the animation to www.ashundar.com (another Terragen forum).  We accept uploads up to 100MB over there.  Simply register and make at least one post.  It would then be available for download there, or I could put it up on my own web space.
2. You could create a torrent file for it and share it via bittorrent - you can look elsewhere for how to do that.  And since you are torrenting content that you created, it wouldn't be illegal.  This would not require any web space on your part, but it would require you to have a reasonably fast upload speed on your connection.

Hope that helps :).

I just checked back at veoh and my video plays now, no need for the external viewer, and nice quality.  I'll post the larger shuttle flight now.

Quote from: gregsandor on April 01, 2008, 06:54:25 PMDo you know of a good video hosting site where I can place the .mov animations, doesn't distort the quality nor require its own viewer?

Yes!

I've recently discovered Vimeo - http://www.vimeo.com/

Yeah yeah, another vid syndication site I hear you say. But no, not really. Vimeo is for content producers only. They only wish original videos - no tv, movies or anime spam that seems to infest every other site (assuming that's not your thing). They're strict on enforcing copyright. They offer video in full HD 1280 * 720 with a 500MB / week upload limit (reset on Sundays). Oh, and they're big on beards over there too so cant be all bad.

Here's the HD faq if you're interested - http://www.vimeo.com/help/hd

Love the lighting in your animation btw. :)
