Hello,

Here is a test of animation :
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/zesly/video/scifi_demo.avi - DivX 5.0.5 - 1154ko

3 seconds, 76 frames. It tooks almost 2 days to render on an Athlon XP2600+.
The big problem is radiosity. An artefact would be different from a frame to
another so I had to render it with high quality radiosity.

I don't understand why this is much of a problem - the light 
distribution does not change much between the frames so you can just 
generate the radiosity data once and reuse it for the whole animation. 
A fly-through would be much more difficult.

the only reply possibel from my point of view would be :

WOW!

The only drawback on the animation is that it's not realy loopable.

Now, if you could spare your computer for about a year I think you could
have about 10 minutes of something special ;)

Really cool animation. What did you use for modelling? SDL? or a modeller?

That's less than 40 minutes per frame.  I don't worry about render
times until I'm nearing the one-hour mark.

John

I just downloaded and installed the newest DivX codec and I still can't
see this clip...

Hehe. Try http://www.imp.org :)

The last HiRes-rendering of our IRTC "end of..."-project had frames 
worth more than 15 hours of rendering on my Athlon XP 2600 :)
(I have to admit that it took some time to render it, even with the 
farm, though)

Try ffdshow (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow), that's what I use to view
DivX and Xvid

Mostly Wings 3D. ZeSly added the animation to the still scene that can be
downloaded here :
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/downloads/scifi_demo.zip (28 Mb, 110 Mb
unzipped)

Of course it is, you just have to repeat the pattern of traffic flying past.

I really want a very hi res looped version of this that I could have on my PC as
a screen saver! It's absolutely jaw-dropping!

I downloaded this and oddly it allows me to view Skip's Desert Eagle Camera
Fly-By which I couldn't view before but I still can't view Gilles's scifi
demo animated.  All this talk has really got me wanting to see it too.
Could someone post it in a different format?

Thanks,
Carl

Here's one, also in DivX but reencoded with sound (by Martial Rameaux), so
it could be different.

Thanks... I can see... and hear that one.  I see its a smaller file then the
one without sound.  Am I correct to assume the other file is just a longer
animation

Oh wow, you really need to move the camera tho. How about rendering it at
16:9 ?

Excelent stuff.

But oddly enough, I thought the yellow car (that appears closer to the
camera in the still) would move away from the camera and not in the camera
direction ?!??

Is the front of the car away or into the camera? Gilles?

You are seeing the front of the car.  The two tubes appear to be intakes.
If you render the car and rotate it 180 degrees
you'll see the hot exhaust port out the back of the car.
