This was a short animation I made over the summer holidays of 2005

So please watch it and tell me what you think....

Very, very good. It must have killed your computer, though. Did you use a render farm or anything? Or is your computer God?

No render farm, lol, if only! I had to render everything at night (and at weekends) throughout the whole summer holidays. Everytime I made a new shot I would set it rendering, that was pretty much what my summer consisted of, haven't had one like it since though

Thanks for the comment

...and yeah my computer is fairly godlike too (3GB Ram, really good proccessor for the time although I have now replaced it with the 'core 2 duo', 512MB graphics card, etc)

Sweet....
I always wanted to do a proper anim, but they'd kill my computer. Course, now I have a six-computer cluster, so I might dust down C4D.

MattCarter In reply to Hebejebelus [2007-08-15 17:40:40 +0000 UTC]

C4D? no wonder your computer dies, that is a SLOW renderer! I used Lightwave for 'The Lights' but I moved on to Maya which is a much better package (and has a better renderer (mental ray/renderman))

What I would kill for a mini renderfarm like yours!!! But you can still make animations without them....

As you've proven.
I've tried out maya, but I didn't like it much. I've always wanted to scope out new renderers, but being on a Mac doesn't always kick ass. Most of the time.

Hey this is amazing,
Which program did you use for animation?

Thanks!
I used Lightwave 8 for this one, but I have moved on to new software now (Maya 7) which I've used in my new animation
Thanks for commenting and thanks for the luck (I hope I get in )!

See what you've gone and done now...I've updated my journal and it's all because of your comment tsk tsk

Think I may start dabbling in lightwave, I've only ever used Flash and a tad of 3D max.
Anyway all the best, none of the worst
