As some of you who commute between forums may well know I was recently given the chance to put the movie I created way back when I first got Poser and Bryce on display thanks to a generous host. I didn't know a thing about textures or animations then but since I was talking so much bunk about it people got curious haha...needless to say I knew nothing about compression or ANYTHING. So...after making my movie and having it come in at a whopping 57+ mbs I was directed to BINK and it's amazing ability to compress. So I compressed my movie down to about 9mbs and change and although it's REALLY grainy and choppy now...it's at least easier to download so that you can view it and get the jist of it... So..here for your amusement / bashing is my movie... PAN~ http://209.103.212.48/TheGarden/Pan/pandemo.zip

Hi Pan, Well It is very impressive. Great camera moves. A lot of people forget to move the camera. The sounds are great too. I must get into Computer Music mag. Is this your first? The compression hasn't made it too pixelated. You think 57mb is bad some of mine are 250mb+. I haven't had much experience with Bink. I will have a go though. I am using Media Cleaner Pro 4. I tend you compress as MPEG .asf files. They should play in Media Player. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work even if it does frazzle my modem...:) Colm... PS: By the way the readme says it is a Rar file. Err it's a Zip...:)

Yeah I submitted it as a Rar but someone changed it on me to a zip....so it would be more accessible to others. :) Got your email...shall respond as soon as I can (am updating a few items...so my machines partially tied up..) PAN~
