TITLE: The Easy Way NAME: Gerald Singelmann COUNTRY: Germany EMAIL: gsingelm@t-online.de TOPIC: Force COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. MPGFILE: easy.mpg RENDERER USED: Ray dream Studio TOOLS USED: Premiere, Photoshop CREATION TIME: A few Weeks HARDWARE USED: Macintosh G3 PowerBook ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: mind over brute force. wasn_t that all too obvious? i could not resist anyway. VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: This is a Macintosh-made Movie - experience tells that PC-Monitors are darker. please adjust brightness accordingly DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: The modeler of Ray Dream is not the best for organic forms. all the tricks and how-to_s you can read in books do not work. so the farmer had to be held simple. the pig is in the movie solely out of sympathy (I like pigs ;) the sky is made with the 4elements plugin. The main focus (again) was to make a film that works not one that entails all the flashy tricks possible in ray dream (it_s not thaat bad ;) This is BTW my first movie with a walking character. _ digital character animation_ by George Maestri was a big help (for anyone who hasn_t tackled this task sucessfully yet) Have fun and tell me what you think
