This is my attempt at an animation, and not just a rotating object at the
origin.
http://ca.geocities.com/morbjectay/animations.htm
It is split into two files (size limitation on the site)
floor_planA9_a.mpg 3243kb
floor_planA9_b.mpg 3395kb
I used TMPGEnc to combine targa pictures into the animation using
MPEG-1 320x240 24fps CBR 1600kbps
Although most of my time is still spent on adding content to the scene, I
would like to start moving towards better lighting, textures and overall
presentation.
I'm using a single set of splines for the whole animation
(location/look_at). This will be split into several sets covering a shorter
distance. The current path of the camera was only to get started and will
change.
The lighting is Radiosity:
global_settings{
radiosity{
adc_bailout 0.01
brightness 1
count 1200
error_bound .8
gray_threshold 0.0
low_error_factor 0.5
max_sample -1
minimum_reuse 0.015
nearest_count 20
pretrace_end 0.005
pretrace_start 0.16
recursion_limit 1
always_sample on
media off
normal off
} // end radiosity
} // end global_settings
Lighted by (cylinder acting as a florescent tube)
texture
{
pigment
{
color rgb <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>
}
finish
{
ambient 1000.0
diffuse 100.0
}
}
Antialias:
threshold = 0.3
depth = 2
method = 2
Rendered with megapov 1.2.1. I'm not currently using any feature for this,
but would like to add some MechSim at some point in the furture.
Windows 98se says my system is a AMD Athlon XP 2200+ with 224MB ram.
The 800 frames of the animation (320x240) took about 4 days 3 hours. The
longest frame about 23 min and the shortest 2 min.
The roof trusses currently have a little less than half the objects in the
scene and removing them brings the first frame from 12 min to 6 min. I do
like the effect they give the picture so I'll remove them for testing and
put them back in for final renders.
