3D Studio Max

Possibly a little unrelated....
But anyway. I have a couple of objects all around 0,0,0.

I also have a Targeted Camera that points at 0,0,0 and rotates around the in an ellipse.

What I want to know though, is is it possible to render the view from the camera ? Because all I seem to be able to do is render from perspective....

I know its possible, ive seen it done, but i aint never used 3dsmax...sorry.

I realise this doesnt help much, but i hope it can point u in the right direction...

**plenderj** · Jul 23rd, 2001, 04:29 AM

Well yeah it does funnily enough.
I did have a gut feeling that it should be possible... at least now I know

Having said it's possible, that assumes we're talking about the same thing

A mate of mine had to build a 3D flash intro to a site using 3DS max. The camera swooped and panned through a cityscape along a predefined path. he then rendered it out through Vecta 3D. It all looked really simple but then again most of the stuff he did did.

In the top-left corner of your viewport rightclick the 'Perspective' -text, a popup menu will appear. Select Views-Camera01 and there you are

Erm to finally render you go to Rendering->Video post then do the following:

Add Scene Event (select Camera01)
Add Image Output Event (select Files->your AVI and compression)
Execute sequence (and the render size..)

That's it

Or you could do this (perhaps slightly easier)

In the top-left corner of your viewport right click the 'Perspective' -text, a popup menu will appear. Select Views-Camera01

Click Rendering -> Render

In the Time Output segment click Range
In the Render Output segment click Files... and type your desired file name then select the Quality
Then at the bottom where it says Viewport: make sure Camera01 is selected

Finally Click Render

On a similar note, we're still looking for 3D modellers for Times of War, is anyone interested?

**plenderj** · Jul 24th, 2001, 11:57 AM

Well sastraxi, if you're looking for avi files of spheres orbiting other spheres then I'm your man

Otherwise...

**Sastraxi** · Jul 24th, 2001, 03:03 PM

Well that's no good....

I need cubes

**rEaL iGoR** · Jul 24th, 2001, 05:32 PM

I'm good at cubes! And pherhaps, if i really Work at it, I may turn it into a star! Not bad, huh?

Really, I would love to help you out. However, I'm young(VERY) and unexperienced. BTW. What exactly is it that you want modelled?

**Fox** · Jul 24th, 2001, 10:03 PM

Hm, I made this scene today but I'm sorry I do not have time to make models for ye..

**Sastraxi** · Jul 24th, 2001, 10:26 PM

Fox: *drooling* Oh well, that's a shame.

Real Igor: You're hired. Can you do lifelike humanoids and dragons, and buildings?

Holy ****ing jesus christ fox thats amazing..... I wish I had the time, effort and skill to do stuff like that.

**Fox** · Jul 25th, 2001, 10:13 AM

You can visit the german site here, note to only click the blue links, the red ones are mail links..

Ich spreche nicht deutsch

**Fox** · Jul 25th, 2001, 08:57 PM

The pics are in english, too

No need to read the text.. but oh: Use AltaVista translate

**Cbomb** · Jul 30th, 2001, 01:17 AM

Sastraxi, if you dont have any really complex needs I can do some non-organic models/scenes like this:

-Shots from Animation I did recently-
Pic 1
Pic 2

-The animation-
Full animation (High bandwidth recommended)

**plenderj** · Jul 30th, 2001, 02:11 AM

Oooo spooky looking

Am downloading movie now btw.

**rEaL iGoR** · Jul 30th, 2001, 09:13 AM

Hey Cbomb.

I am the only 3d-modeller on the project right now except from Sas who's making buildings in VRML. If you want to join the project, all you need to do is to make models and skions to, say, 60 models. There's a lot (there are 4 differewnt detail-levels on each figure. Are you good with the material editor(cause I'm not)?

Anyways, go here:

I'm not to hot with skins type textures. But im pretty good with procedural textures, which un fortunately are no good for external games. So...I'll see what I can do. I'm giving the "Warrior of the blade" a shot. We'll see how this works out.

[Edited]

Ok..thats not gonna work...I'll stick with non-organic. lol
