Train Station Anim - Update at page2

Well…I sent my train station pic to the art festival and bart asked me to make an anim out of it…so I made it. Not very special, just a few camera movement around the train arriving to the station and stopping. If anyone want to download it and give me it’s critic comments.

I hope you like…but unfortunatly I have no more time to put on it :frowning:

hey not bad, only problem ,MOTION BLUR!

Gah, people never motion blur. No matter how small the movement, it always blurs :stuck_out_tongue:

you’re kidding right? lolol

rendering without mblur was taking 1min40 per frame…with osa5…I had to blur it a bit in virtualdub to make it “look” good…it was really really long to render…so :stuck_out_tongue:

anyway tx for the comment :smiley:

but habitually, I always use mblur…this scene is just too big :stuck_out_tongue:

never, you turn off osa and keep mo blur on 5 and it renders about half as fast… not too bad.

Downloading now…as well as keeping this thread on the top.

Wow, X. That was oustanding. Really WoWed me. Very nice feel to the camera. Lighting was excellent.

Awesome stuff X, lovin’ it!

The camera movement is a lot better, makes the animation flow a lot more!

Nothing I can find that’s out of place or not looking right.

Nice to see this project animated!! 8)

Very nice camera angle and motion!!! :smiley: i love it :smiley:

but if u add motion blur, it would be better :stuck_out_tongue:

I have now watched it like 5 times, and am still not tired of it. Really nice.

great work. the model is nicely detailed.

two crits:

camera movement:
it stops on the right side, train goes by.
then it’s in front of the train, pans a bit to the right. so, there’s another “train comes towards camera”
and then it swaps again to the right side.

there is something weird about this.
perhaps, you should cut the panning of the later camera…
or… when it stops to wait train to go by, instead of stopping, it would continue towards end of the train? this would also make train appear more speedy, and this brings to us to my second crit… :wink:

crit number 2:
speed.
train looks fast, but doesnt travel fast, it comes in very slowly. especially when camera stops to wait it pass by… is this intentional?

anyways… great work!
next, texturing? heh…heh…

Nice work man, it looks really good. What about changin the mood from blue to rusted/dirty/kinda-cyberpunk ?

Anyway, really nice work.

Great work X-Warrior. Really nice to see this come to life.

I have to agree with the statements that basse has made. Some subtle camera changes would make it perfect.

BgDM

But guys, I liked the camera… :-? Don’t listen to them, X!

I think the speed thing is very important. I really would like to see the train move faster. The only other camera tweak I’d suggest would be adding a little bounce as it goes down the stairs into the train, to get a better POV feeling.

Great concept and modeling job, though.

I see a blank screen. :frowning: How do I get it to work?

wow it looks great um the train looks good and everything looks good just the camera movements like basse said

tx for the comment guys,

for the speed:
Well, I wanted it too looks like it was slowing down, because it’s coming to the station so. But yea I think it could be faster.

For the camera movement, I wanted to make it better in the first shot, but I kinda didn’t have enough time. I’ll maybe try to adjust it tonight…I’ll see if I’m too busy or not.

and btw, I won’t change the blue feeling of it…I love it like that. I’m sorry if some don’t but this pic is really coming ‘‘from me’’… and basse: texturing it? LOL no way I can do that and I don’t have time for now…maybe later, we never know :wink:

three-dee: you need divx5.05 http://www.divx.com
