TITLE: Full Throttle COUNTRY: Russia WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED: Povray 3.5 TOOLS USED: DTA, Adobe Premiere, homemade utility (i call it povmorpheus), oh and hamaPatch of couse! CREATION TIME: I don't know, about one month, but rendering only one night :) HARDWARE USED: Athlon XP 1600 VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: DivX 4 or above (under Linux you can use mplayer) ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: The topic of this competition is SPEED. Speed it is a car, car it is a road, road it is landscape, landscape it is desert, desert it is a... ... and so on :). This is description of my animation. You MUST see it! Car-turtle, road and amazing SPEED, adn sound track by Machine Head!!! DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: So, what i want to say?.. ...mmm, forgot... ...ok, i remember!!! There is! PovRay is awesome tool! It has been used to render all (almost all really :)) frames of my animation. First I have used hamaPatch, to create main part, of the car model - turtle's shell and body. Than i create wheels and axes as simple CSG. I wanted to make my tourtle autonomous, so there is some scripts inside. You can look into the shell if unzip applyed archive and see poray files. So, i make wheels rotatable, and my turtle made her first "steps". Next I have use hamaPatch again to create road track, desert and some flora outside track. One of the textureas was made using The GIMP. It is to complex for me (while, i hope) to make such textures with PovRay facilites. I really Like my "road" texture, with white striped line. In the clip was used seven cameras. One at the start, next one - above left front wheel, three cameras along car path, and other two in the air - infront and behind of the car. When all parts (one for each camera) were rendered. I make some still pictures for title of the animation clip and run Adobe Premier. I really don't know, how to use it so i simple arrange clips as I need, and use "dissolve" transition. Also I have apply lens effect to one clip (I don't know how to make this in PovRay, but belive, that it is not impossible :)) And finally, I needed some music to make animation alive! And I find it at one of the Machine Head disks! It was very simple to add this track to whole clip. Enjoy piples!!! I glad to take IRTC competition!!!
