Daniel 103 posts11 Mar 2008Hi Tyson! I have a litlle request. I love your senfield animation and i love too the scene setup, the light and the shaders! Can you say me please one little advice to recreate something similar? I wish to create a scene not relalistic and not cartoon style but similar to seifield. Is it ink 'n toon shader? Do you use vray for this soflty kind of light? Thanks a lot in advance! -
11 Mar 2008Nope no ink-and-paint shader.
For the environment I used just regular blinn shaders...for the characters I used a Vray shader with glossy reflections. For the lighting, I used VRay lights near the ceiling simulating the normal placement of fluorescent lights. Hope that helps

nrek 1 posts09 Jun 2008Sorry to revive a old thread, but I figure its better then starting a new one. I was just curious as to how you got the depth of field effect to work so well in you animation. I am currently doing a similar type of exercise with a low max rig for class and I thought it would be cool to kick it up a notch by really pushing the cinematic effects. I think I got the Vray materials figured out for the most part. And I tried the Depth of field effect in the render effects, it was setup with a focal node on my characters face. But it yields a very sloppy blur with crazy jagged edges. Any tips would be great. -
11 Jun 2008export your video as a rpf sequence and chooose z-depth as render pass.
or add it as a render element so that you have seperate pass of zdepth.
then you have to use aftereffects (or a similar program) to use the zdepth to create depth of field.
its pretty simple to do it with after effects you choose lens blur and use the zdepth layer as referance.
if you have more questions
andrew kramer has a good tutorial about it

if you want do it via max you could use final dof
or if you want it totally manually with max camera then you better have a good renderfarm
