Alas, it seems that you've exceeded your bandwidth - I can't view it.

hello mike :

 

my 2 cents, you arent arresting the foot of the character to the ground, he is sliding bad ..

 

the ilumination is great .. did you use radiosity ?

A lot of noise, but still some good lighting.

Thanks for your replies

 

Xtaz- Yea, the foot was slipping bad, i was in a rush to finish it, i'll make a better one when i'm not piled up with homework and as of the light i used a bulb light with

216cm width

75000cm fall-off

VERY light yellow color

with 90% intensity

Diffuse is On

Casts 7 Rays with a darkness of 80%

 

D.Joseph Design- The noise was caused by the rays, i think it gives it a more realistic feel, but the ones on the ground aren't necesary

I think the thing you most need to improve is... the compression!

 

Seriously, 4 megs for a 4 second clip is way, way huge.

 

Do this next time

 

-render to targas

-right click their icon in the PWS

-choose Save Animation As...

-choose to save it as a Quicktime movie

-click "compression"

-choose Sorenson 3

-set quality to high

-Keyframe every 120 frames

-limit data rate to 80KB/second (that's a very high setting)

 

Those settings got your clip down to a tenth of it's original size; it could be slimmed much more.
