    Is there any secret to making a smooth camera fly-through?  Mine seem to be a little jerky.

    Packaging Update - Frosted NGons Start

    Have decided on a name for the cereal.  Will work on some typical side-of-the-box textures like ingredients and nutrition. But at least I have a name.

     

    ha ha that's a classic - nice use of those package scenes - they might be premade but that doesnt mean they are not worthy to be used !!

    Lighting Scenes - Probably Not an Entry

    Exploring some of the scenes in the 'lighting scene' folder of the browser.  Here is a simple Torch Song scene using the Hollywood Lights.  Vickie 6 and Michael 5.  I'm going to keep exploring.  This probably won't be an entry - at least not in its current form.

     

    that's beautiful Ted, I think you have captured the mood , and that smoke makes my lung hurt ... holdon it's making both of them hurt

    Bowling Animation Update - attempt to add Bolwing Alley Polka music

    Please let me know if the link does not work.  Dio Bowling Entry Carrara 66  Video link

     

    Wonderful job Ted, the physics on the pins looked the part - and the intro music and the wiggling shoulders set the scene nicely I think :) Don't you love hunting for sound effects? Especially when you find them!

    those shaders , the translucent ones are super effective - which ones did you use?

    I finished my first animation!

    Click on the above image.

    Carrara did a great job of outputting the png's.  Most of the renders were about 12 seconds long, so it took a little over 5 hours for the main file.  However, PowerDirector choked on the load a bit, and I ended up with the same problem as before - the sequenced pngs were slower than the audio.  My solution was to load the pngs by themselves in PowerDirector, and turn them into a mp4 file.  When I reloaded the mp4 back into the editing room, it synched closely with the audio.  Yes, it is an extra step, but it only took a minute to make the mp4.  For me, it's just nice to find something that consistently works.

    Uploading to Vimeo was much easier than the first time (a few years ago).

    Animation in Carrara is like learning a new language. A different way of thinking.  Many thanks to everyone for your advice (especially Wendy) and to PhilW for his Carrara Animation tutorial.

     

    Great timing - holds the viewer's eye succinctly. The best animations are too the point - just like this . Also impressed by the My Favourite Things video

    Mine is jerky.  As Wendy said, bezier.  

    Here is another thought.  Or, it might be the same thought.  Insert a vertex object.  Use a low detail grid, very low.  Manipulate the grid to get it roughly connecting your start and end points.  Draw a new polyline line roughing out the path you want by clicking points on the grid. Then extract the line again (seems like a waste) and use it to get the motion path.   Link to figure 8 discussion in next post.

    I had a similar issue trying to get a camera fly through for a race car on a figure 8 track, and on a terrain.  Wendy's target helper idea was a helpful.  A couple of posts scattered in the following thread give the details.

    My final entry.  I had 3 half started projects to choose from, 4 if you count the woolly mammoth.  But only one entry slot left.  Ultimately decided to go with this Hollywood Lights Scene image.  Did some touch ups with Filter Forge.  I did not like this image for a couple of reasons when I first did it.  But I started to change my mind a little.

    V6 and M6 and a Daz piano under the scene lights labeled Hollywood in the browser.  I think Hollywood Lights comes with the default Carrara content, but am not sure.

    HW, thanks for the positive comments on the animation!

    A valuable learning-experience Challenge.  Only two entries from me - although the time I put in was probably equal to 5 regular renders. :)

    pleasure - yes animation is a long process - it gets easier - then it gets harder :) 

    my first animation was a surfing one in anim8or - it went for twenty minutes and it was very very very bad 

    but I learnt an amazing amount especially anim8ing splines 

    anim8or had no ik or tweeners at the time
