FXWars! Avalanche!: YAN

#6

thx guys for the comments :slight_smile:

westiemad : yeah for sure the set up is quite basic.
but like someone said in other thread, think the most important thing is to have right timing, as good proportion, who will gives the feeling of big landscape scene, and will see after to add more realistic elements in it… :slight_smile:
so firt i try to have good motion… and as we will only see big smoke at the end, and no more snow, except some particules explosions at the front, think that will be ok.
in fact i just take the hardFX as a support for the particule, who gives me speed, motion and timing.
maybe after i will see for better simulation action… if i have time :slight_smile:
like most of you i assume, im working during the week so dont have too much time to work on it, except during the week end and after works(…). and deadline is coming fast…

CobraX: so, as i said, dont know if i will have time to work more on it and for sure i start this contest a little bit too late :smiley:
… and for sure will not have time to render it with the “extra time consuming” hypervoxel i think…
anyway, for now try to add building destruction and trees, and will try to have the best simulation i can.
and will see if i could finish dynamics soon to maybe be able to render that in lower res, like a little 320*240…

so wip, more soon(i hope) :slight_smile:

so, after have saw the A.Cantarel final anim, will be hard to finish… :slight_smile:

i dont have works on it this weeks, and so today have try to set up fast dynamics calcul for the trees and the house… for sure real simulation is way behind…
here s what i have tonight…
will try to set up procedural texture to render it, and make some “fast and good” HV setting this night… to be able to render it for tomorrow
and for sure, will not have photo realistic render for this! :smiley:
maybe make new calcul for threes, who seems to jump a little bit too much.
anyway, here s it is for now

Hey, I really like this preview! Just tweak a little bit on the center of gravity of the trees. Maybe some random on the axes for spinning, too.

Will we both the only ones with a final entry??? :sad:

so, its time…
and for me, doesnt have the time to render it…:confused:
have set up a quick scene, and start them yesterday for today…, but its again way too long to calcul 1000 frames. :smiley:
so, the render will be ok in few days… lol
so, just have have an opengl preview, no more.
for the next time for sure will start at time… hehe :slight_smile:

anyway, here s my (1/2)final entries… dont know if that s enought for the final entries…
i will post some render tonight when i will come back to home

so a 20 Mo quicktime (sorry for the size, cant have lower…)
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/yann.goument/perso/PREVIEW_FINALE_02.mov

and a divx 5.1 (3.25 Mo)
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/yann.goument/perso/PREVIEW_FINALE.avi

so, full lw8 dynamics, hardbody for the snow, trees and house, and particules.
cant add more particules, 'cause not enought ram to render it(scenes takes 1.6 go of ram for now with all the dynamics); that need to be calculed with layer and composite after.
maybe will try it for me after, but that s another story… :slight_smile:

#10

so… after this bonus week, have remake some calcul, and render.
heres a preview of the HV rendered layer.
hope all will be ok for monday :slight_smile:

#11

ok, its finish! :smiley:

so, like many i assume, so many things to work on again to have “good” result…
anyway, heres the final render i have.
for the time i take, its quite hard to say 'cause i only works on this during my free time, after work or week end. i spend like one week to set up this scene. spend like 5 days to make model, test and makes calculs, and 2 days to light, surface, render and composite.
i really dont like trees and mountain surface and textures, but as i work on them only few times… i let them like the first time i set up, with only procedural(as you can see it… :slight_smile: )
so, full lightwave 8 dynamics, no key(excepted baked key from dynamics calcul for the particules), rendered in layer and composited in shake.

I Think it’s a very nice work :wink:
The avalanche looks very evey, for a one week, it’s gnikc*f cool
good job ! ^^

#13

FAntastic…I really love!!

Only crit woul be that it should grow more, in size. So it went from a medium avalanche to a huge apocalyptic one!:slight_smile:
Anyway good job!:thumbsup:

#14

Get your self another host. I cant acces any of the files, it looks like you have run out of your monthly transfer amount

#15

Well maybe you should get another ISP? I’m downloading merrily with 100 k/sec. :shrug:

Cheers,

I am having no problems downloading either. Nice and quick. Great avalanche

#17

i liked it, and it made it cooler having that poor little shed being run over

#18

that looks really cool, really like the way you did it, only i would have had the end camera shot be closer to the structure so you could really see it topple down, but great job!!!

#19

The links doesnt works :frowning:

and its in LW? I wanna see it.

#20

yep my site is dead since 3 days… thx France telecom…
so yes its lw :slight_smile:
here s a mirror link(merci thomas!) : http://www.innercore.fr/YannGoument_FXWARS(500x375).mov

#21

very impressive work! well done! :thumbsup:

it would be gr8 to see the Avalanche in a tutorial one day.
LW FX animators will be very happy :slight_smile:

#22

looks very good. How long LW rendering this?

#23

Ermmm… original link and mirror won’t work. If anyone can upload it to me, I’d be glad to mirror it on a fast, reliable and almost limitless server.

Need I to say that I’m a bit sad to see that nobody mirrored this before… Surele not…

#24

arf sorry guys for this f*** dead web site… hope he will be online soon…
so its normal for the “original” link…
but have test the mirror, seems he works correctly.
hope you guys could see it :slight_smile:

#25

Ok here is my personnal mirror:
