OTOY Forums

Hi all

Back in the closed forum we had a thread called 'Show & don't tell'. Mainly due to the nature of NDA & keeping things secret until going public

Now we are in PUBLIC beta, I thought it would be great to have a 'new' place to share your work (a dedicated area rather than random posts in threads designed for other reasons) where you can get helpful critique and people can share tips/ideas.

Let me kick the tires & light the fires with a short (quick test) anim using PySwarm..

Wow that turned out very nice. Swarm worked great for the formation the breakaway and regroup.

Many thanks Tug

Only just started to look in to PySwarm/PyCloid and the other stuff so feel I must be honest and say that the motion is a modified version of one of the demo files! All I did was replace the sample meshes with the SWAP plugin by inagoni and then added the Urban future set, messed about with the daylight settings & HDRI and pressed render

Here is another test I was messing about with today to confirm that Sighman had indeed fixed the issue with Physics not updating etc, its only 125 samples (for speed) as a quick test so don't get too excited as I am sure you have seen hundreds of physics cube demos!..

Orion.

Good to see your Pyswarm working well with physics and Octane. Three good things working well together.

I'm just about to upload my first Octane/Carrara "animation". It just about qualifies as an animation, but really I'm just starting small, testing as I go. Couldn't resist inserting some humour along the way as we learn.

My first Carrara/Octane Animation.

THE DYNOFLUSH 3000. "A new breakthrough in the Toilet space".

Just testing the following:-
1) Animation frames and tweeners (camera moves and simple rotation).
2) Materials from the Live DB. Materials editing.
3) Look for any Bugs when animating.

Next up something a little more ambitious, a much larger group of models, to form a Space Shuttle.

p.s. I couldn't get the youtube button to work. What do I insert? I tried the full url and just the youtube id - no joy.

Loved it mate, then again you never do fail to entertain & ammuse

Btw, what do you use for your subs/titles?

Thanks Orion.

That was just a cheeky preset in Sony Vegas 11. However I think I sped it up so that the f/x weren't too distracting.

Dude that was a funny presentation for the Luve, I guess we better all run out and get the new improved Dyna-Flush 3000

Btw Sci Fi Funk,

Just in case you did not know..
You can upload movie clips here directly (as well as YouTube, can't let your fan base miss out on your awesome works) but you need to change the file extension from MP4 to m4v and keep it under 40mb (might be 70, can't remember the exact size limit!) I use ultimate video converter by iskysoft

Tugs - Thanks man.
Orion_UK - Good info. I'll think about where else to submit my animations too. Cheers
