Here is a 360 animation I have just done for a client.

Modelled in Archicad, animation set up in c4D. The frames took about 6/7mins per frame SL12 and rendered on my farm over night. More to follow, I'm fired up to render more animation now!!

The compression has dropped the quality a bit.

Very nice Neil !

That looks awesome! Can you explain.... Animation set up in c4D- but rendered in Maxwell? Thanks!

[Neil Evans]

Cheers

Basically I set the camera path etc up in C4D and exported the .mxs files. I wanted to do it in Archicad but could not work out how to get the .mxs files to export for the animation.

It´s nice to see animations with Maxwell and Cinema. Good job.

The nature looks very great for CG. What trees did you use? The forest in the background is perfect ... is it rendered as well?

Looks great! How long did it take?

Did you ship it out to a render farm?

[Neil Evans]

Cheers All

kami- The planting is a bit of a compromise as the mxs files become huge if you add too many high poly trees, even using instances. The trees are vb visual. The background forest is a photo.

d7mcfc- It took about 18hrs. I rendered it in house on my farm.

Truely is a nice farm you have there Neil!
