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?

Can't seem to get the right codex. Funny, I thought I HAD DivX4...

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...

Why bother?  I'm not interesting.
But... maybe "Ballet pour ma fille" will be.

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.
