Short Subway animation

Bbop

Well, progress at last.
Originally Carrara would crash when rendering a still shot. Learned to turn off the unseen objects in the scene and remove unused shaders. That helped a lot. I am working on a little project that involves an old NYC subway train. So far I have one train pulling into the station. Next will be a passing train on the express track. Finally I will (hopefully) add people and all the goodies one sees in the subway.
I saved the video on youtube. Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated!

Here's the original render that started this madness...
(Oh yeah, forgot to add that I added audio to the animation from within Cararra too!)

Render extremely well until there, one waits impatiently until the doors open.
Show us the continuation as soon as it is ready!
The sound in Carrara, it is well for the sync or the lipsync, but for the final assembly, there will be problems of continuity in the sequence…
In any case, it is successful very well and the atmosphere of a subway is well reconstituted!

Thanks! I was actually shocked to see how well the sound sync'd up. I am still fiddling with the lighting. The door opening sequence will happen after I goad this software into rendering the larger scene (Hopefully one will be able to see across the tracks to the other side of the station). Long way to go. I have learned NOT to have indirect lighting turned on if I want to see the render anytime soon!

Looking good. Yes, the indirect lighting slows things way down, I only use it for the final render. Same for "Best" anti-aliasing, to a lesser extent.
