    Just finished an animated render...a crude experiment but may spark ideas...no doubt easier to achieve in a 2D compositing app, but this is Carrara so, lots of possibilities because... we can!

    Probably could be just a flat subdivided plane over the camera 'lens'

     

     

    interresting.   is caustics on?

    No, just a straight render.

    Experimenting with low lighting and IRay. Used some longer render times and larger image width and height to eliminae the fireflies.

    hey Stezza, that's a coool character - thise birds ? Rons or that new flock model with crows and gulls, or something else?

    greybr0 -didnt know you could use Iray in Carrara!

    Wendy thanks for the tips on the possum poo :)

     

    DesertDude  great idea, Brian (RIP) and I had a chat about it once - he was trying to get a wider angle in the horizontal meridian - he was kicking himself when I suggested making a lens - as he was a photographer I believe. I have a video somewhere , I;ll dig it up.

    they are the new bunch that flocked into the store the other day by DZFire

     one of the few new things that will work in Carrara ....

    I'm still using my xPeria z2 for photos... no need for any upgrades at the moment or foreseeable future..

    Rendered and modeled, rigged in Carrara... was an exercise last night after chatting to Head wax on Facebook.... time taken was 2 hours from start to finish.. I didn't make the tail long enough..

    Carrara Rocks!

    thanks Stezza, its a video I uploaded to a FB account which has no public access - I store images of paintings on it I like etc - in case I want to go and steal their ideas ( ;) )

    but one image I posted here from the FB account is accessible - so not sure about the access after all -

    if that make's sense!

    I had a random idea just now, don't know if this has been done before, but I created a 'fake' lens to put over the camera and distorted the 'lens' geometry. I'm sure it is not grounded in any optic reality at all, but might have some interesting applications. 

    The 'lens' is just a default clear glass shader (selected geometry) and the cylinder part is black.

    Edited to add: Don't understand why the background turns black looking through the fake lens, but I'm sure there is a work around.

    Possible work around would be to not use Background??  Try Backdrop pic or large plane with pic or shader settings on it.  I suspect that it's the clear glass shader being "black" for it's colour,,,  I've tried to add a len's with no luck... probably me but I'm blaming it on the pain meds. :)  First day home from re-hab after breaking my hip... oh what fun. cool

    btw:  really nifty idea!... nice anim!

    Looks strikingly realistic (not surprising considering how I'm always astonished at how excellent your lighting and texturing work is).  But when you say 'clip' does this mean you'll be making an animation?  If so I would love to see the animation when it's done.  :)

    Stezza that's crazy good! I spent a little time this weekend modeling too, but I can only barely limp around the vertex modelling room, somewhere just over the 'mentally disabled beginner' skill level.  :)  I was inordinately proud of figuring out how to make and texture a round window (pretty dang basic stuff, lol).  Oh well, I figure it's like anything else, got to just keep doing it and practicing to get better and better, but seeing this kind of work is very inspiring.

    In the recent thread about Top 5 carrara plugins, I picked Architools as one of my top 5, because I think it's immensely useful and generally fun to use, but it struck me I haven't really used it in a long time.  I wondered if maybe it would all come back to me like riding a bike, or whether I would struggle to relearn it.  Turns out sort of both things are true, some parts came back to me quickly, others I had to relearn, and in the process of tinkering I learned whole bunches of new stuff I didn't previously know about how to use Architools to the best effect.  So I didn't have a lot of free time this weekend, but I went to google and searched on 'suburban house', picked an picture of an interesting looking house, and decded I would try to re-create something similar.  

    I made a few misteps, but Architools is pretty easy to relearn and makes it pretty quick and easy to put together a pretty close likeness of the pic I found (well at least the front of the house, which is all I could see in the picture; I had to guess at the back of the house).

    I also modelled the round window in the vertex modeller.  Architools lets me insert a round hole for a window, but Inagoni doesn't include an example object of a window that would actually fit in the hole, so I had to make my own.  Oh and I made a plane for the grass with soft select to pull up little hills and subtle variations, and a cube for the driveway, if that counts as modeling (yeah, not really) but everything else was done in Architools.  It's interesting metally, like putting together a puzzle, to use the various Architools modelling tools to make a house similar to the picture I was working from.
