Project 3 Animation: A maximum 90 seconds Animation of the Completed 3D Scene
 
From this assignment I had learn to render animation in 3ds max and Lumion. At first, I thought it was very hard to learn and thought cant make it. But is not, it was quite easy to learn. I had use 3ds max to test render but it took a long time like few days but in low quality and hadrash in half way. So I decide to try Lumion 3d, I export the rigging and animation path in 3ds max to Lumion 3D. Fortunately, it works but the materials slot are gone. So I need to reassign the material into Lumion 3d. After I recreate the environment, I start to render in best quality with 1080p resolution. I was shock it just took 1hour for drop down animation and 2hours for walk through animation. If in 3ds max, I think might take a long time for a good quality.

 

*Can Set to 1080P HD For Better Quality 
Work In Progress ( Animation )

 

1

1

Create Spline for Camera Path

2

2

Assign Camera, Dummy and Add Path

3

3

Attach link between dummy and camera

4

4

Adjusting the keyframe for setting where the camera will look at on each keyframe

5

5

Setting time configuration

6

6

Setting vray render properties

* Walk Throught Animation

 

* Test walking Animation In Max

 

* Drop Down Animation

 

1

1

Create Spline in Circle to allow camera rotate to see all view of the drop down animation

2

2

Assigning camera

3

3

Assign Path Constrant to add path on the circle spline

4

4

Grouping the model into few category example wall, door

5

5

Set time configuratio to 900keyframes

6

6

Each category took 50frame to drop down

7

7

Now prepare to animate the drop down

8

8

Set key for each category with 50keyframes

9

9

Set the render properties which choosing active time segment 0-900

10

10

Start rendering it took 12hours to finish. But it crash in half way so I decide to use lumion which render faster

* Test Drop Down Animation In Max

 

1

1

Export to Lumion by using FBX

2

2

Active the animation on FBX setting

3

3

Import animation and the model into the lumion 3d

4

4

Assign the material onto the model

5

5

Assign camera path on the model

6

6

Choosing the render quality

7

7

It took around 1hours for 30sec, 5star quality and 1440p. Hence in 3ds max , will be more than 1-2days or even more and easy crash in half way

8

I edit and compile the video by using window movie maker

* Final Render and Video Edit
