MPGFILE: cjstreet.mpg RENDERER USED: Cinema 4D XL TOOLS USED: PSP5, Build Movie from Images, Digigami MPEG Encoder, Scanner, ACDSEE CREATION TIME: 57 hours HARDWARE USED: Pentium II 400, 128MB Ram VIEWING RECOMMENDATION: Full color, 25 frames per second. This mpeg file is 32 seconds long. Please use High brightness & contrast. ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: This animations shows the decay of a street especially of a wall. It contains many effects that speeds up the decay. Note: It has 4 parts connected with simple blends made in Cinema 4D. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: The scene was entirely built in Cinema 4D. The grafities from Lawnmover. (http://lawn.home.pages.de) The posters from the Matrix, the fifth element, antz and saving privat ryan. All objects from me, execept from the car and tree. 1. I modeled the Cj Logo. I used a free bones & sticks plugin to build a visible mesh. It's hard to identify this because for rendering i used scene motion blur. It takes 57 hours to render to complete animation. The mpeg consists 800 frames * 5 times Motion Blur. Next you can see an implosion created from explosion and using time control. Then a rotating coke flys into the viewer range and the camera is following. The coke drifts against a lamp und rolls onto the street. The camera zooms out. 2. After the night followed the known morning. Some new items are added to the scene f.e. dustbin, poster and graffiti. The light changed completly. The camera begins to moving to a new position and it starts raining. Cinema doesn't support ground fog now. I must use a 3D-Shader to simulate the ground fog. The tree in the background conists of textures and spheres. 3. In third part new items are added, too. The camera change the position and prepared the last part. The new items are posters, waste, leafes, graffities. The leafes from the tree change the color to brown. It's the sign of autumn. 4. Now the camera pushs to the wall and a great part is broken down. Then it starts snowing and a car lose control and slides against a wall. A great explosion followed.
