jason1025 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 15H Windows Shita 64 ultimate 16 passes AO on 15 sampling 24fps Render res 1280x720P No reflections Jpeg image sequence on screen 12 hours to render with 7 processors each render a unique segment with its own AM project open. In other words it could have taken about 6x longer if I had just rendered using one program of AM open on the same 8 core system.

Cinema_Display_Motion_test.mov hi jason looks cool i understand splitting up the processing but can you please explain how you reassemble the pieces for the finale piece thank you j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason1025 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 hi jason looks cool i understand splitting up the processing but can you please explain how you reassemble the pieces for the finale piece thank you j Sure Its very simple. For simple tests like this I render out quick time movies then assemble then in quick time player. You can set in and out points via the I and O keys on your keyboard. Drag and drop each quicktime into the master quicktime movie player. Then you can perform a "save as" from the file drop down menu to save a self contained single file. Sometimes I have extra duplicated frames in the movie so I make in and out points for the duplicated frames then hit delete to delete and save the file. You can use the arrow keys to go frame by frame. For Final projects not tests I like to render out TGA's files which give you one file for each frame. To string them together in a quicktime you need quicktime pro or some tipe of program that lets you import an image sequence. In quicktime there is an option to open an image sequence. You choose just the first file in the folder with all the files. A movie will open you can export that in any codec you want prferably an H.264 Codec for the net. I could have and should have exported at a lower data rate creating a much smaller file size with minimal quality loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bigboote Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Good test. What kind of compression are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimd Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 thanks for the info and test sounds simple enough j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason1025 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Good test. What kind of compression are you using? Yes I meant quicktime pro. I am using h.264 codec, but from now on I will compress them with a lower data rate. I know the down loadable file is large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I am working on a presentation of all my skills and talents. It will be made entirely in AM ironically showing off skills in Final cut, color, and many other programs.

Gerry Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Nice test and good compression! Why not have the tablet stylus upright and moving across the tablet like it would if you were holding it, instead of having it lie there? It would be more lively.

jason1025 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 I agree, this was just a test so far, not the actual animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
