ps, anyone know why I can't change my Avetar? I sized it accordingly.

Nice anim.

Is you Avi pic the right format?

I used cinepak compression. All put together with Corel VideoStudio Pro. 

Never mind ps, Avatar works now.

well done...great f/x and flight pathing ..very realistic....and nice camera work as well

I liked the inside the cave shots the best....

Thanks Everyone, The cave I HAD to do with prem render, Frome the tunnel on, took 4 and a half days to render, thank heavens the second time turned out right.

Fantastic vid!
Love the tunnel!

Just great. My favorite moment is when the craft's wing lightly touches the water's surface and we see the resulting concentric circular waves.

doing anomation always reminds me of my Amiga days when you started a render and checked in on it in a day or 2....you have great patience or many computers my friend .  ..  ...

Just the one up now Clay?...veeery nice man...really good music choices as well .  ..   ...

yeah just the one, I got more but am trying to get my site back in order, pain in the butt!

Wow, very nice clay, hope to be at that calliber some day. Eveyday I learn more.

I think you pretty much have the grasp there Mike LOL!! Very well done animation, the longest Bryce animation I ever had was for a client and it took 3 months to render, he actually went on vacation twice, also it was being batch rendered on 4 machines talk about a butt puckering when it was finally done, I tripled checked everything before sending it to render and thank god there were no anomolies anywhere.

Thanks, and I am thinking of getting a seond machine after the first of the year. That should help. Seems like I check and check, but a light moves or a texture changes. I coulcn't imagine waiting for three months. I found doing them in small increments at a time is much better on my sanity.

That's what I tend to do on my personal work, I do 3-5 second animations then edit them together.

Do you create everything in Bryce, or do use a few in tandem.

Mainly Bryce, but I have various other apps I use as well, the more tools the better:-)

That is where we grunt like Tim Allen.

The cloth test was awesome as was the grass test...well they all were but those 2 piqued my imagination

The grass and cloth was done in Maya. Just some things you can't do in Bryce hehe, well you could prolly do the the cloth.

Actually now that I think about it, I had to have the Maya people write out a tut on how to make the grass interact with an object because no one could remember how it was done LMAO!!! Its actually pretty easy.

pretty funny but I'm sure that with what they're working with that was a small problem solved early on, and even I forget some stuff some times*[tongue firmly planted in cheek]*

I've forgotten stuff that most people will never even learn, god I hate getting old LMAO!!!

Whilst I got you here, I was watching a tut on Vimeo about using slope filter. He then said 'press shift and click on the top' to bring up textures and he clicked on one called setup, which is a blank slate, I have the latest version, and I don't have it that I can find, what am I missing?

That I cannot say, I have my own presets set up the way I use them.

Oh I see what ya mean, in the mat lab shift click on the mat pebble and it brings up a different menu, has been in Bryce always.

Mike if its all basic presets you should see something, but it looks like he has his own presets made. That looks like a David Brennen set up heheh.

They are saved as a .brt, how do I make my own?

just make your mat, then shift click in the top middle and once in there hit the add feature  name it what you like and it will bring up a blank library where you can add your own preset.

Mainly Bryce, but I have various other apps I use as well, the more tools the better:-)

Oh? And what apps would they be then? (Looks over to the comfy chair and wonders if Clay should be sitting there....)

I could squeal on Clay but better you read the previous posts Cardinal..he squeals on him self, heh heh heh .  ..   ...

Thats what I had thought to do, Clay,but I shift/click it, go to add and all it tries to do is add the randomly generated one, it ignores the actual object and tex. 

I will check that out Bobby

I use all kindsa apps, Maya, zbrush, hexagon photoshop etc etc. whatever it takes to get the job done.

Great animation and sound.  Lovely, lovely sound.

Thanks Dan.

Clay? We need to talk................come and have a seat.

Wassuo Bryster?

Should I leave the room?

Yes. This won't be pretty.  :lol:

LOL!
