Ton has asked me to compile a short collection of Blender art that he can show at Siggraph this august. I already have many nice stills from the gallery at blender3d.org, but I could use some cool animations.
Since the schedule is very tight, I can’t put much time in format conversion, so the requirements are quite strict:
Only AVI, Quicktime or MPG movies
PAL Aspect ratios only (720x576 or 360x284), 25fps
No copyrighted soundtracks. This makes it easier for us to share the movie on the website.
If you have something that you think deserves a place at Siggraph, please let me know by sending a link to your work to [email protected]
I have a very short animation of an hourglass which I feel is competant - but it is very short, so it’ll only be of use to you if you use it for a compilation. However, if you do want it, I’ll render it in the specifications you require.
Um, well I don’t have a file, it’s on tape. Capturing the tape would make a file of many hundred megabytes, gigabytes even… It’s possible to compress to DivX or MPEG4 or something, though. I can capture it, and then let you know what file size I can get it down to?
You can do that, but you’d have to do it very soon. I think Ton will be leaving for Siggraph in about three/four weeks from now and I need to edit the material as well. If it’s even remotely possible, please use the Net.
I have an animation that I think is nice… The problem is I’ll need to (re)render it at the correct resolution, with good quality, which will probablz take 1-2 days. When is the deadline?
The animation is a 16 second camera fly-by, sweeping in from the top, showing the slowly waving water in the pool, and swooping around the whole atrium. Would that be any good?
It looks nice enough - an animation of this may be worth including. The deadline is at the end of next week - this leaves me a bit of time to edit everything and hand Ton the DVD.
if you like any model in particular, I can manage to get a rendered 360degrees or a simple animation of a scene in 1day (depend on the day tho…so let say 1-2days)…just tell me and I’ll do it…
You can use my Bomb animation i submitted last year for the suzanne awards if you like. . I hope you still have those files because i only have a lowrez MPG version now, if you need a bigger one I’ll recompress it just let me know.
