Attached Link: Chess Set MPEG

file_111083.jpg

Following on from the tracking option I learnt today thanks to EricofSD, I've created a final version of my chess set animation. It tracks the white queen for the whole game. It's also given me the opportunity to fix the wandering sun by unlinking it from the scene.

I'd also like to request to the PTB's that IF you forget to put a subject in the message and then use the back button as requested, it really should keep all the text and not give a blank form. grrrrr.

3.8 meg MPEG. Sorry DDRUCK, still using the same conversion. If anyone knows of a shareware app to convert to a more stable MPG or WMV, I'm all ears.

Cool stuff Drawbridgep. Thanks for sharing. Looks like the tracking tip from EricfoSD works really well.

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't.

Yep, still goes boom. (You're a prophet too.) I don't remember a charge for Windows Movie Maker.

OK, working on it. I really want you to see it. Maybe I'll email you 115 BMP files.

Great anim..and really good image quality, will changing the file format alter quality at all?

drawbridgep ( ) posted Sun, 30 May 2004 at 3:39 PM

I think so. The AVI was best, but 30 meg. But at half meg, I can live with the WMV.

WHOA! Now THAT is really cool. I have only one suggestion, and it isn't even for the movie! The rendered animation looks like it's 10/15 fps, but the movie we downloaded was 25-30 (I could be far off). Just saying, if you turned down the fps for the movie you export to the internet, it could save 50 percent of the downloading time, since we're downloading twice as many frames as we need to, since most times every two frames are the exact same image. Dunno if I am making any sense at all, and I could be wrong.

I know exactly what you mean. I didn't even check. This is for the WMV fileor the MPEG? (The animation was 18fps.)

The very first one you posted. The MPEG

Very sweet animation (no matter what fps), Mr Drawbridgep.

The conversion program I used doesn't have a lot of options on the MPEG it creates. The quality isn't a lot different on the WMV, so I might stick to posting them now. Can Apple users read WMV files? And, thanks Flak, glad you like.
