I was discussing a topic on Daz forums when someone posted their animation work.

Small teaser trailer from a full-length film "Lost Planet", made in Bryce 5.5c, Poser 4 Pro and After Effects 5.5 in Russian language, with English Subtitles.

Interesting...I didn't thing you could actually do poses in Bryce...shows what I know...;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit

anahl nathrak uth vas betude doth yel dyenvey..;)

not sure that the poses were done in Bryce. After Effects is great for compositing Bryce and Poser renders. Newer versions of Bryce, I think, have DazStudio integration, but v5.5c I don't know, does it?

Human figures imported into Bryce are virtually frozen in the pose of their respective obj's and can't be re-animated there. Looks like the Bryce animation was used as background for the figures' animation. Where there are instances of animated figure shadows (not all shots include them) the figure and ground are most likely rendered in Poser or DAZStudio and backgrounded with Bryce. Same for animated figures sitting in chairs or lying down. Both figure and chair or figure and gurney/table also seem to be Poser or DAZStudio renders with Bryce as a background.

"!@#%%%&*Microsoft!
I clicked the link you posted and it doubled the http:// then popped up a google image search page. We're sorry we can't find your search item try using fewer terms.

I chopped off the first http:// and it added right back. I deleted it from the history and tried again and it added it right back.

Finally I went to yourube and searched for watch?v=cD-vk9vG7xA I found the lost planet trailer and clicked the link. Guess what? No, this time it played perfectly but it wasexactly the same link you posted.

I've noticed with pages like yahoo if an image is corrupt instead of the article loading with a place holder Internet explorer 8 jumps to google image search. I wanted to read the article not see how I can lower my rates by clicking on the dancing girl. Any Idea how to turn google search off?

I'm having the same problem. Worst yet, Microsoft gives back a connection diagnosis page and says the site may be down for some reason or another. I plug the link into Firefox and I’m there viewing the video with no problem…go figure.

 Kool movie, well done. I agree…Bryce was probably the background filler while all the animation was done in Poser and everything composited in After Effects. I once did a sword fighting sequence between a Poser skeleton and a P5 man using Poser 4 in a simple 3DS Max dungeon setting and it was fun but tedious sort of like stop action sequencing while the camera revolved around the action. Could have composited in 3DS Max Video Post but went strictly Poser at the time. I could only imagine the hours they must have invested in producing this.

 

The link shown in the first post is bad. It may have an erroneous whitespace character or something else in the link's target. 

In my browser (Firefox, latest version) it doesn't even show as a clickable link. I did copy paste it though, try grabbing it from the left side.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD-vk9vG7xA

that will do.

I wish I could go back and edit my first post to fix the link, but there is that timeout thing.

staigermanus: thanks for the fixed link.

Thanks staigermanus from all us technically challenged folks. I didn't really mean to detract from the original intent of the post.

I've done some animations in Bryce. The ship flybys and the loader picking things up were Bryce. Decent frame rates and resolutions on a single machine took me a couple days rendering time per minute. I have great respect for anyone who did a feature length film this way. It probably represents a couple years work!

Well done!

All frames by movie

I created movie from 2002 to 2010 years.

Length : 1 hour 35 minutes 48 seconds 7 frames (143707 frames)

It is not a commercial project. This is my hobby.

Fantastic job!!  I am always pestering DAZ to make the bridge from DAZStudio to Bryce work better for animatiors.  As it stands I cannot consistently get more than thirty or forty frames of DS animation to cross over the bridge and when it does, it takes forever.  DAZ appears to be genuinely interested in clearing this up.  Here's hoping for easier animation in Bryce in the future.

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms!!

I don't use the bridge from DAZ Studio to Bryce. I don't use DAZ Studio. You're quite right that DAZ does not pay attention animators. For example, broken button for animation control in Bryce 7. This button are not corrected even in version Bryce 7.1

Today I translate my movie in English language for the subtitles. This work is most difficult for me.

 

Can you post a screenshot of the button you are talking about?

It is necessary to press on the right side of button, then the button will work.

Yes, that is annoying.  It happens to me also.

Continuation of the movie is expected shortly. This will be part of the 5 and 6.

 

I loved this episode.  What will they do now?

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms!!

They will have less than one day to turn over the truck and take off from the planet's surface. But only the girl knows about it. She is silent for now.

I thought that was funny when the pilot said how good she looked with the mask on.  I liked the scene where the woman went through the teleportation device too.  The animation of the crane lifter was impressive as well.

This is the best episode yet.  All the explosion effects were great and the section on the history of Earth was superb!  Five stars, three cheers, and two thumbs up!!  YouTube would not let me post comments there on the video.  It continually said error, try again.

Excellent.  You have such patience and skill.  Looking forward to the part.

Thanks! If you have any questions on the film, then I will answer them.

I posted my video tutorial on YouTube, but the video turned out very poor quality. I'm sorry about that.

I created a tutorial on working with Russian phonemics and the animation of Russian speech. The Mimic program does not work with Russian talk. I used Mimic 3 for create a library of Russian phonemes. Next, I create an animation of Russian speech in Poser by step mode. Perhaps, this tutorial will not be relevant for English-speaking users, but this method you can apply for other languages.

This tutorial is entirely in Russian.

Pretty interesting!

In the early 2000's somebody made a script and sold it where you in fact could animated poser in Bryce. I bought it and it worked very well. Suprised somebody has not done that now. That may be what was used.

I remember this script. But I use a different technology. I used Bryce and Poser for the model rendering by separately. Then I use After Effects for matching two frame sequences. This method uses less time.

You did an excellent job!

Thank You!

This is awfully distracting.  I should be modelling for my own animation, but I just sat there watching part4... then part 5... tut tut tut.

Good stuff.

Dima, that's some crazy dedication you have there, I truly admire the patience you must have to pull-off something as epic as that!

Just watched it on YouTube with the captions on.  All the way through I was wondering how you did the animation of the figures, whether it was mocap or entirely hand keyframed using animation layers within the timeline.  Either way, I think it worked well, the characters seemed to have real weight behind their movement.

I liked the expressions when they were talking as well, attention to detail, well done

Editing and camera work was bloody nice as well.

I used mocap files for motion walk only. I created all the slow motions by keyframing manually. DAZ Mimic not support Russian language. I have a video tutorial in Russian, as I created a simulation of conversational speech based on the library of phonemes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQC2ZXxPwus

I worked with the movie 8 years.

http://vek21petrov.narod.ru/MuitiLayerAnimation2009Eng.jpg

Cheers Dima, just watched the vid.

Interesting stuff, and you know what, I have Mimic Pro and didn't even know there was a "For Poser" version of it.  I'll have to check my DAZ account to see if I have one for Poser because if I recall, mine was just a stand-alone thing.  I bought Poser 10 a few days ago so it would be great to have that.

BTW, you can add further respect for your animation.  I was just watching you keyframe in Poser and realised you never even had Animation Layers in that release.  Man, you're crazy, eight years of manual keyframing - WTF!

You inspired me to have a little play with the animation in Poser 10 after seing your movie last night.  I even asked a question on the Poser forum about Indirect Lighting due to the problems it causes with animation.  It's a shame it's not animation friendly because I'm majorly impressed with the Firefly renderer, haven't had so much fun with a renderer since, well, Bryce!

So are you working on another movie, did you start a new animation project?

Hey Dima, forget what I said about IDL in animation, it does work after all, I just got some more replies in the Poser forum.

As long as you switch the processor preferences to use only one core, you won't get any of the random flickering.  I always thought it was strange that it fired-off random samples, but now it makes sense, it's not random at all, it's due to using multiple cores.

My apologies if you already knew about it but it's a new one for me that is!

I use an old Poser 4 Pro, but the Poser 10 has high-quality rendering.  I showed the render settings for both versions of Poser.

You can also take the English subtitles (*.srt).

http://3d-animation-ru.ucoz.com/lost_planet_2_intro_subtitles.zip

The DAZ Mimic is stand-alone program, but the Mimic creates files for Poser libraries.

I use file of lighting that creates the illusion of global illumination in Poser. This file contains a few dozen weak light sources around the figure. Poser 4 Pro has some limitations in the settings and I find interesting solutions in creating the illusion of global illumination. :-)

I know what you mean about the lights, you carefully place them to mimic bounced light, saves a lot of render time compared to using IDL.

Nice work on the new project, looks a lot more detailed and was good to see it in Full HD.  I didn't download the subtitles, I'll save that for when you complete the movie - and I genuinely look forward to seeing it.

BTW, I hope you back up these projects on at least two devices.  I think I'd go nuts if I did that amount of work and lost any of it.

I created multiple copies of all projects.
