Project 3 : A Maximum 90 Seconds Animation of the Completed 3D Scene (Submission)

A video is made from all the scenes rendered. It is made as a video showing a brief of one day holiday in a tea house.

Project 3 : A Maximum 90 Seconds Animation of the Completed 3D Scene (WIP Work In Progress)

To create an animation, the number of frames is set and the number of frames per second is adjusted. Then, the next move is to set key.

The key for frame is set when the camera is moved. So that the animation shows the view of the camera when it is moving.

There is another way to set the camera view for animation. A line is drawn and made as the camera path.

The environment has to set into spherical environment instead of screen mode.

After all the animations are done, they are saved into different files so that they can be render separately. Then, the renderings can be started. It is set to save as avi file. However, the computer has automatically restarted few times and the files which rendered half way are gone.

So, I decided to render them into tiff format as it saves frame by frame.

After the file is rendered, the tiff images are converted into avi file through 3dsmax. The files are used as the environment maps.
The first image is selected, then the 'sequence' is checked. Anyhow, the files should be saved in a same folder.

The file is rendered and saved as avi. It takes very short time for this even with very high resolution.

It took a very long time for the files to render even I have separated them into many files and rendered them separately with few laptops.
