How on earth do I make low moving fog? I can't paint fog on 400-500 images ........ Hopefully you have fast render ideas?

Just an idea : why don't you try a square with texture on it ? Laurent

I can't make a test cause Vue is in rendering for the next 24h, but we use this tricks in Poser to simulate fog, rains... Laurent

On a flat scene with distance, that mmight work, but it didn't work in landscape on short distance. I tried with different settings. It doubled the rendering time, but didn't create much effect. 24 hours isn't much ;) I usually render between 12 & 100 hours... Record so far, 104 hours. I think someone had a 122 hour rendering some time ago....

ISN'T MUCH ?!?!?!?! I get cranky if I have to wait 5 minuts... oh well :) -are those 24 hours for a single picture, or animation?

I would guess that ablc is rendering the animaation he/she had so much trouble with. 5 minutes? lol

How'd you make out there ablc? I've been monitoring your struugle and have been wishing you good results. Did it finish O.K?

yep it should end ok. I split each person in a separate pz2 and that solve the texture problem. Then i don't use the renderfarm anymore cause it's too bugy. The only remaining problem is in 1 person. The timeline is not synchronised with the other. I mean the first pict is the last one, then he move to his formal start point. Laurent

I'm glad you're confident that it's working out; I know you've tried real hard. I am looking forward to hearing what you think of the final movie. All the best...

Hi Alexander. Look at my scene "Woodlands?" and see if thats the kind of fog you are looking for. What I did was just to use a high/low to the ground atmospheric fog setting and scaled all my scene components VERY large. Hope this helps! P.S My render "October-Final" took 154h38'55'' to render on my 600MHz PIII, so I guess I get the stupid persistance award..LoL!

I do a testrender at the moment with some fog. I use a very large cube with volumetric materials in motion. 154hours ? lol.. Don't think thats stupid, just very dedicated to your work :)
