flashmasterfong 238 posts03 Aug 2006I was thinking of droping it from a plane and blowing up a tank or a bunker.
-
03 Aug 2006sounds really cool, and pretty hard too. Nice stuff!
-

Heres the bunker
-
06 Aug 2006I like where this is heading.
-
flashmasterfong 238 posts06 Aug 2006Okay. Heres a test animation of the building blowing up. No SFX yet. Most of this has be animated by hand, I only used particles for the roof.
Tell me what you guys think so far. -

07 Aug 2006Wich app' are you using for rendering? Maybe turn off GI for simulation test and effects
Previous animation is a bit linear, but looks cool anyway
Keep it up! -
07 Aug 2006what kinda problems? i'd hate to see you abandon this sweet building!
-
flashmasterfong 238 posts07 Aug 2006Well, I wouldnt say there are a lot of problems. Just my computer cant handel the render, even when my comp doesnt crash it take FOREVER to reneder when using afterburn. Any suggestions?
-
07 Aug 2006What kind of times do you mean when you say forever? There are many many ways to reduce render times with afterburn.
What renderer are you using?
What effects are you trying to make with afterburn?
What settings are you using for renderer, GI and all, samples, and all that jazz?
What settings are you using for afterburn? step size, falloff, shadows, shadow samples, density, explode daemon e.t.c? -

07 Aug 2006since when does vray works withAB? or ar you rendering it in differant passes?
-
07 Aug 2006I've never had any troubles with vray + ab.
The only thing is, it takes a fair while to calculate the GI on the puffs which is really cool for sure but it is a major time waster when you can simulate it yourself.
If you're using default settings in vray and afterburn it makes sense that it will go slow. These days I barely use GI in vray, I just make my own lighting. GI is cool and all but it does eat away at time. You shouldnt scrap objects in your scene because they take too long to render. Just find a different way to render them.
Try turning off the GI, and seeing how fast it renders. Then try turning off the AB, then reducing smoothing amounts and doing things like that in a step by step process, and see what it is causing the delay, and then try and rectify it. -
flashmasterfong 238 posts07 Aug 2006Cam, your my saviour man. Thanks a bunch.
-
08 Aug 2006i don't know diddly about either Vray or AB, but i know GI takes friggin' forever to render. i second Cam's advice - lose the GI, not the building!
