I like to share my experience about the first animation I did with POV 3.5
(using SMPOV and ~6 GHz).
So as I was told kindly, I went to
http://povray.org/resources/links/3D_Animation_Utilities/
and decided to use (from all those) two utilities (the once most up :-):
a) AVI-creator from http://www.bloodshed.net/avi.html to prouce a raw AVI
b) avi2mpg1 from here: http://www.mnsi.net/~jschlic1/ to convert the (69 MB
AVI into a 5 MB MPG)
c) Because I have three PC's and 5 CPU's I rendered the source-BMP's with
POV 3.5 using SMPOV (http://www.it-berater.org/download.shtml).
Then I started to make my first OWN MPG.
So anyone who is intrested to do such thing can read here what troubles are
"on the way".
1. SCENE:
I decided to render the prism (source downloadable here:
http://www.it-berater.org/download.shtml ...)
with just a subtile change that makes the prism rotate nicely in the video:
***************
box { // Cube002
<-1, -1, -1>, <1, 1, 1>
scale <1.5, 1.5, 1.1>
rotate -clock
translate <-1.05, -1.05, 0.0>
}
(watch the variable "clock" which is changed every frame a bit)
***************
2. RENDER:
(this part is mostly intresting for those who render the animations using
SMPOV because that speeds up the process a lot.
If you're not intrested in this part jump down to (4.).
I have three machines to render, two of them have each 2 CPU's( 1x1800+,
2x2GHz,2x800 PIII).
So I decided to split into 8 tiles with SMPOV cause I tried to prevent that
the 800 takes a job and
makes me wait till its ready, while all other CPU's are long time ready.
So after all exactly that happend. If the weakest machine gets the hardest
Job, you may wish you had choosen smaler tiles.
But this problem is not really a problem cause I can leave oth the weak
machine next time or make smaller tiles.
Next thing was: I decided that 3600 Frames would suit me fine. And of course
I used SMPOV,
cause my scene did not contain visible Radiosity-effects.
In SMPOV (Link below) its easy to put in the values for the animation:
Resolution: 320x200, 8 tiles but not stripes, the best is often 2*4
(Radio-Button: "Oct-render S").
Then "enable animation processing":
1 ... 3600 for frames and 0 ... 360 for initial & Final clock. The later is
the range clock-variable.
So I let it run, after all I realized that SMPOV together with POV-Ray
generates quiet a lot of files
in the COM-Folder (where all Temp-Files are generated through which the PC's
communicate with each other).
This happens when the picture is rendered in 8 tiles:
My calculation: 3600 Frames, for each Frame SMPOV generates
- 8 "ini-Files" with the "Job-description" for the renderagents on the
diffrent PC's/CPU's,
- 9 batch-files (one for each of the 8 tiles plus one for picpend.exe to
append all of the eight tiles to one picture (& copy it to its origin-dir)
makes together 60.000 Files. However after "cleanup" (when the process ends)
they are not left of course.
What happens is that it can take quiete a while for the COM-Folder to open
while the process runs.
3. WAITING & Restarting:
At that point i decided that it took quite to long and that I should stop it
and reduce the value for "Render depth" to 5.
However some of the processes were ready so there should have been already a
small movie for me even when I interrupt it.
So I first had to close the renderagents an all machines before closing
POV. Otherwise Renderagent would
notices that POV is ready and starts a new Instance. Second stop POV-Ray on
all machines.
Now SMPOV noticeds that all instances ended, and (that is corect) strated to
append all the tiles to pictures.
Was nice to see that this even works very good in bigger projects.
However at that point the programm noticed that there were tiles missing.
(Of course they were missing cause I interrupted the process).
So I had two choices, wheter end the whole process or press around >1000
times "OK" :-) (one time for each missing tile).
However there are numerous tools out there that can press a button. I used
my "Thümmler-Tool" with a small "one-liner" script :-).
DBC\doer\OK ( DoButtonClick ...)
So after I saw a nice film in the TV I could go on.
4. MAKING THE AVI
Now I had 3600 BMP-Files in my source-folder. I thought o going on making
the AVI with AVI-Creator.
What I realized next is that AVI-Creator does not allow to add more then
~200 Pictures in ONE STEP to himself.
And when doing this he exchanges the first and the last frame (maybe thats
good for something).
So I had to make 18 steps and echange a lot of files ... I asked myself if I
am really the first person to make a bigger video with this program.
No drag'n drop .. ok that gave me the chance to look the rest of the film
while my TT adds the films automatically.
A small script had to put the files (4 by 4 by 4 ...) till all 3600 are
added. Intreesting enough to see that if I add 4 pictures,
the first and last are not exchanged by AVI-Creator. As that is not of big
interest for most people, (the TT is not yet publicly avaiable
however it shall be soon) I place the script at the very end of this
message.
So that way I looked the rest of the film while the pictures are added to
avi-creator.
And ok, the AVI was created. It had around 69 MB at all. The first part of
the film was perfect
while at the end the missing tiles made some holes in the picture.
5. CONVERTING TO MPG
That part seemed to be more easy.. But it wasn't.
When creating the AVI I decided to make a frame-rate of 60. Now it showed up
that
avi2mpg1 only likes selected frame rates as example 30.
Good Luck, I had not to do that all by hand again. So I went back to Step 4
and created a new AVI with a framerate of 30.
Then I called this "One-Liner" BATCH FILE to make an MPG from an AVI.
avi2mpg1 -n -m4 prism_160.avi
Which uses quite a lot of time even on a 2 Ghz CPU.
After all the resulting video has now 4,3 MB ! So I could sent it even with
e-mail anyone who wants to see it.
Currently I am using my experience out of this to make a newer, smaller
which shall be placed on my web-site.
What I can say is, that it looks really fine if that prism rotates ... & I
hope many of you can now use my experience from here to make own,
small mpg.
It works with POV-Ray 3.5 and it looks GREAT !

Thanks for the tip. After I run it, it says there are 30 days left for
Mpeg2.
Have to try it with more time.
However ... here is the Download-Link for the current movies.

The option to encode to Mpeg-2 will time out unless you register. However, this will
not
affect the ability to encode to Mpeg-1, which is what you want. Use this prog, it's
great.
Also, I'd advise you try VideoMach (www.gromada.com) which will create your mpeg-1
file from
the individual bitmap images, without the need to create a large uncompressed avi
first (as
will TMPGenc actually). You can continue to use it after the 30 day limit as long as
it's for
non-commercial purposes.
All the best,
Andy Cocker

I've just tried videomach.
With videomach the making of a MPG is a question of just one "drag'n drop"
and two button clicks.
I installed it, started it, dropped my 720 BMP's directly into it, pressed
the process-button,
typed in the target-filename.
Much more easy then the other system !
The result (though has 1 MB more then the other - maybe better quality ?)
is really good and a mesagebox shows that it has been "corrected for windows
media-player"
So I think this is the wanted program for easy MPG-creating.

Sorry, Theo, but is it necessary you change subject with every post and write
there the same or similiar content as in post? You are quoting original
messages and continue the same problem so I think you can preserve subjects.

I am viewing it in Outlook-Express, so I have all posts for one thing sorted

The subject itself does not distruct order here. Is it diffrent for
WEB-based systems ?
I changed subject, so someone can just see whats inside on a quick look.
Maybe is unconventional like that ?

You can of course set the data rate yourself (this is probably what's causing the file
size
increase). In the Define Output dialog (the diskette icon), go to the video tab and
click on
the Format Options button. You can set the Data rate here.
All the best,

If I try to download the movies I get .pl files. What should I do with
this type of files?
In the latest version of TMPGenc one can import .bmp files to produce a
mpeg1 movie file!

I had to let the link open the page with the m1v contents, seen as coded,
then use the File menu to Save Page as... (in Mozilla web browser anyway).

That first animation lost most of the frame before finishing. Don't know if
that means Windows Media Player couldn't handle the file right or if the
file I got was broken. Also looks like a violet color might have gotten
lost, seeing just those two blue beams. Was nice animating though, slow and
fun to watch.

I used TMPGEnc to compress some of my anims, I just point it at the
first output bmp, and it picks up the rest of the frames
automatically. No need to create an uncompressed AVI first.
Also if you want to compress to AVI, VirtualDub 1.4.11 now allows you
to specify an image sequence (bmp or tga).

Hallo Hermann,
what you get is this (as example: )
http://www.it-berater.org/download/down.pl?file=21
That is a CGI-Script which runs server-sided to count for me the number of
downloads (in this case for file nr. 21).
If you just click it, it will deliver you the wanted file.
Btw. the counter shows 21-46 Downloads currently (for each of the movies)
.-).

The first animation has a story, which can be read in the first post to this
thread.
After reading it, you'd know "the secret of" the missing "tiles".
Just want to say that it is NOT a Media-Player-Problem but that the video is
just like that.

"Sometimes one has to go through hellto find later that there was an easy
way at any time" :-).
Thinking about it, I found myself doing an extra circle around "30-days
trial versions",
mostly not even taking the time to read exactly what they can do or not.
After all the advice I got now, I've already downloaded the recommended
Tools
and will try them next time.
At the moment, I feel that my problem is rather that I have not enough
CPU-Power,
or at least I would want to have more :-) to render the full video in 30
Minutes.

Hello Theo,
What I get clicking the http://....?file=21 is a text file opening in
mij browser although in the title bar an m1v file is indicated. I'm

You can use TMPGenc with "*.BMP" files natively. There is also a VFP

I see, thanks for revealing that reason. I hadn't thought to look into the
"story" about it.

Btw. I have counted 50 Downloads till now.
So I am really quite shure that this thing should work.
Also it works with my I.E.
However ... true is that I have no chance to try it with Netscape :-( .

Theo, make sure that the web server is sending the correct
Content-Type header for .m1v files. Or if thats not possible rename
the file to .mpg
I just checked, this is the header that is returned by your server,
note the Content-Type.
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2002 09:08:52 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix)
Location: http://www.it-berater.org/TheoDownloads/prism_200.m1v
Netscape/Mozilla uses this header to decide what to do with the file.
In this case it tries to render the file as html.
