Hello,

I would like to announce my latest animation "Four Seasons: Episode II", done in cooperation with Oshyan Greene ("JavaJones (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=9192)"):

http://www.kk3d.de (http://www.kk3d.de/) > Terragen > Movies > Four Seasons: Episode II

For viewing, the Xvid codec (version 1.0.3) is required:

http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml
http://www.xvid.org/

The animation length is 9 minutes, and it is available in two versions, a 108 MB version in "regular" quality and a 296 MB version in "ultra" quality which was encoded at a higher data rate.

This was not a quite small project... Rendering time was 24 days across 12 PCs totalling 22 Ghz.

The animation just tells the "story" of the four seasons in many variations. We hope you will enjoy it. Comments are welcome. :)

Greetings,

Karsten Keppel

Wow! Really looks great! It's worth the wait for the render ;)

It looks really photorealistic, wich gives it a great touch. The only 2 errors I've seen could be by the compression, but maybe it's in the render.

@ 7:02 you'll see the coulds with a bit artifacts/stairs going on
@ 7:48 you'll see the same thing in the waterline, maybe worth checking?

But yeah, I really like it!

Thanks to both, I'm glad you like it.

@ Neejoh: About the "stairs", well spotted. Indeed this is caused by the renderer, those artifacts can appear under rare circumstances. No chance for me to solve it really. :/

thats a nice pic, karsten. But maybe it would look nicer if the lake would contain ice...

cheers

There was a short warm period when that video was recorded. So, no ice... ;)

But hopefully I'll include it in a future version. :D
