In some parts in the company I am working for, we are starting to use
SAP R/3 with 4.62 (?) GUI.
I found the splash animation quite boring and I thought I can do an
appropriate animation for our company.
Let me explain in short: Our company produces design bath tubs, shower
trays, whirlpools and so on. (go to www.hoesch.de, english pages available)
So I used the tiles (associated with bathroom), water effect (not as
good as I intended), bubbles (the whirlpools) and the dominating color
blue which is a sign of water and our company's color too.
The scene uses photons and radiosity als well as Chris Colefax'
lensflare include and clock macro. Rendering the 60 frames took 88.5 hrs
on a PIII 1Gig with MegaPOV 0.7 on WinNT (renderings on daytime in the
background).
After having converted the frames into a single animation it looks too
bright and I don't really like the water effect and the almost invisible
water surface. I tried scattering media in the water but it didn't work
the way I expected it.
It is not likely that I'll render it again with other settings.
So far...
Karl

Whatever I try: I can't see it :( Although I had the impression I could
play DivX, but this is maybe a type I don't know... Do you have details
of it?

If you must use DivX please use version 3.

Why? It's just a matter of downloading the right codec, which is not THAT
large. Most modern internet-connections, even 28.8k, should'nt take more
than a few minutes to download it.
What's the problem?

I can't play it -- I have the DivX 3.11alpha codec as well as the 4.01
'Final', but when it opens MediaPlayer, it just sits there. Black screen,
pretending to play, but with the progress indicator stuck at 0.
Mediaplayer doesn't try to download any additional codecs either...

Just like the experience most people in the US have had with SAP - it
doesn't work.
Neither does your animation.
Is there a player that will actually allow people to view your work?

finding it.
installing it correctly.
getting it to work.
for those having problems, you might try my website and
download the packages I have on the DTA page- I've yet
to run into any problems after installing them.
BTW: I HATE DiVX because it is NOT a standard and
because there are SO MANY DANG VERSIONS OF IT!
Having said that the animation was pretty nice, good
job! The bubbles move a little fast for me...

For those of you who can't view this the first version required a newer
version of DivX, from the OpenDIVX group version 4.01 is the one I had to
download to get it to work. I have recompressed it using the more widely
installed DIVX 3.11 so this version should hopefully be viewable by all.
PS: I hope the original poster doesn't mind me doing this.

Nope!
It's all right. I'm not sure how widely the codecs are spread. I've just
chosen 4.01 because it is a non-beta version.

Ouch!!
I am deeply sorry and I want to apologize for the troubles I may have
caused you.
I've chosen DivX4.01 final because I thought it is the best platform for
all and the compression is fairly good. I did'n want to use beta codecs
or Microsoft's MPEG4 codec.
I hope you will see it with the right codec or download Thomas Lake's
DivX3.11 version of the anim. (Thanks Tom)
Once again: SORRY!

Yep. Go to http://www.divx.com/ and download the complete package which
includes the codec (DivX4.01 final) and the "playa". This should work.

"I've also been talking with the developers of DivX4 and it looks as they're
still heavily working on the codec despite the final stage. ... The final
release was more a marketing decision than a development decision, as some
companies do not consider codecs that are labeled beta no matter how good they
are."
That's a quote from an article on a major divxing site, and its the reason I'm
reluctant to get the codec just yet.

ugh... "the playa.." I'm surprised the DiVX codec works
at all if "the playa" is another example of their
programming skills and methods...
just plug in the codecs and use another player is what
I recommend.

sounds like a typical tactic of the DiVX crew... yuck.
There are just an absurd number of alphas, and betas
out there.

I didn't test "the playa" yet. The codec works fine with M$ media player.

yeah it works fine for the M$ product- its just a
codec. I use BINK to encode and it can handle encoding
to DiVX just fine too once the codecs are in... NOT
that I ever DO that, MIND you... :)

I'm using BINK too. It gives good compression results too. But bik-files
aren't playable without BINK. O.k. one can make an executable , but I
once tried it in this group and many people didn't download because of
possible malicious code (they're right).
So now I use BINK to make bik-files and then I convert them to DivX or
whatever.

Hmm... POV available for just about every system you can think of,
Divx 4 available for... windows. What's the problem? This said, I'm
assuming there's no alternate compatable version for macs?

I just went to www.divx.com and downloaded the last Mac version of the codec.
No difference, the animation is still impossible to view.

Nope, didn't work.

No difference, this animation is just as impossible to view as the original
