ericsh6 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I finished this a few weeks ago for a video documentary. The rockslide is all Newton - I shaped the mountainside to direct the rocks onto our slow response digger worker. Thankfully, he survived the incident. link to video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMZ_TimeLord Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 right click on the little picture and save as quicktime to view it. (Don't know if you need pro to do that or not) Looks great to me... Wonderful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhar Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 That looks really good. One crit. if I may; the guy that's ducking freezes un-naturally. My expectation is that after he ducks he'll keep leaning in the same direction as the rock slide so as to soften the blow (a natural reaction). Good job. Can't wait to see more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Haha, that's great. I agree about the comment about the guy freezing. Other than that really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericsh6 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 the guy that's ducking freezes un-naturally I think I understand, at least I can see that there is something wong when he realizes the rocks are upon him. Those secondary actions are still mysterious to me. By the way, I used repeatable actions with transitions to the max here. I love repeatable actions.

Admin Rodney Posted June 2, 2006 Admin Share Posted June 2, 2006 Very nice! You really set that whole scene up and choreographed it well. I was already enjoying a lot when the rockslide began. At that point I was fully entranced in the scene. Almost like I was there about to get pounded and pummeled to death. Good thing you didn't end the scene just before the final piece otherwise I'd still be in shock wondering what my fate (or rather of those guys) might have been. That I suppose would be my one suggestion if you ever went back in to change anything. I think after the impact of the rocks a short span of darkness perhaps dissolving to the last scene with dust disipating would add additional opportunity for empathy with the plight of the diggers. Just my impressions... not really suggesting you change anything. It was just such a great scene that it easily sucked me into the story. Now you've got me wanting to know more. Well done! Thankfully, he survived the incident. That is of course the most amazing aspect of it all! Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_black_mage Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 hey.....didn't you render this with ao?it looks just like that picture you posted a while ago. btw,NICE ROCK SLIDE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericsh6 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 didn't you render this with ao?it looks just like that picture you posted a while ago. Yes, I did render this with AO. Now it would be a piece of cake to render since netrender is now in beta 3 and above. I am reconstructing a small mountain village right now. I am finding that pixel displacement can be used with AO if done right. I will post some stills soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper GTX2.0 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Nice work and what is AO? How do u render in netrender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericsh6 Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Nice work and what is AO? How do u render in netrender? Yes it is AO. I didn't render this in netrender because it wasn't available in v13 back then but now it is. I have rendered other animations with AO in netrender and they work great. Netrender should be available in the latest version of V13. You don't have to do anything different with your project file to render AO in netrender.
