END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

3 weeks of rendering, a bit sad youtube has a bit crappy quality, I will try Vimeo too later.

HD quality, I hope you think it was worth the waiting

Enjoy:

Thank you Thunder

This was worth every single computational instruction of rendertime Really great

Spectacular video, enjoing it much! 

And what a great box you found, awesome!

Yes, without compromise, the result is worth it!


By now you can change the parameter smoothing from 0 (linear-) to 5 (bezier-interpolation), this is the number in the left lower corner beneith the keyframes.
The speed is only controllable with the subframe count between the keyframes.

But i liked it anyways, especially the part where you fall down the pathway on that building 

Another interpolation method is also on the todo list, but i really cant say anymore what i can realize, i first want to get to the point where all parts are working...

OK, some additional comments from my side :

What I like the most :
- the slight but yet noticeable tranformation at the beginning.
- The fact that you took the time to add a title and some comments at the end
- The variation of FOV (not sure?) or at least the resulting effect of high FOV
- The camera passing close to the object surface (you know I like that )
- The colors (although I think you kept close to one of the default)
- The Hi-res !

I do not mean to criticize at all, because this is really a great video, but if you ask me what I think could have been better :
- sometimes too steep changes of camera path
- The feeling of sometimes being lost ("where is the top where is the bottom" effect) because of too many rotations
- Too quick camera movement, especially in the second part (and I guess you gave the video name roller coaster once you realized it was too quick?)
- The ending could have been slowed down (consequence of the previous point)

BTW, I did not read the user guide either. Did not even know there was one!

Cheers

Awesome animation trough a wonderful fractal.
I don`t know if there is sound added.
Turned off the speakers,
just for in case this ride was going trough the sound-barrier.

It has a roller-coaster effect indeed and that`s cool in a way
but some how I missed loads of detail.
