Taking a Pov-Ray Screen Shot

Create a Movie Suitable for YouTube Using Seamless3d, POV-Ray, FFmpeg and Audacity


http://seamless3d.com/tut/movie/index.html

Quote :

For this tutorial you must have the following programs already installed on your computer:


Seamless3d
POV-Ray
SUPER (installs FFmpeg for us)
Audacity if we want to record our sound track

well

if you follow well the tuto made by Thyme ,

you do that



you could train with an avater made by Thyme ,
as it is animated

i.e.

http://seamless3d.com/av/zoe_red_mini_skirt.smls


before doing that ,
it is better to do that too

because it will add a light






then you have just to do that in PovRay

http://seamless3d.com/tut/movie/render.html




Don't forget the resolution

Doing that





you arrive at how to "run"

to get all the images of the animation







double-clicking on the bat file

( here zoezik3tuto.bat )
willl create the movie

Now , PovRay can add many things

Try the "Insert" choices

( be carefull to have the cursor at the end of the script ...





For instance add a Light





click on the "zoezik3tuto.ini" onglet and RUN


you will get that

another exemple :


deleting

and adding ....


Insert .....Cameras .........a typical camera

and here

Code:

  // perspective (default) camera
camera {
  location  <0.0, .5, -2.0>
  look_at  <0.0, 0.0,  0.0>
  right    x*image_width/image_height
}

you could change the location for intstance ,
it is as in vrmlpad

location <0.0, .5, -2.0>

is closer to the girl than location <0.0, .5, -10.0>

and if you are tired of my tutos ,

go to the beach !

















a funny trick is to build in seamless to have the right image in PovRay .
For instance , in the last image above , I scaled the second person to .3 .3 .3 ,
to have her " far away " ....

as I had the girl in a smls

I used the " Import to Part " .....way ....to add my avaar shape ...





I had many probs to get the texture workng in PoV Ray ,


and now I know that it must be a *.png




a question for THyme :

how do you get the same result as

textureTransform TextureTransform

does ??

for instance

textureTransform TextureTransform {scale 2 2 2


..............

btw I made that

http://pagesperso-orange.fr/alaindumenieu/artvrml/250609.htm

as I am always complaining about having a Solid False in seamless ,

I re googled that and found vnomad 's posts about

funny to see his signature

Quote :

creativity is great but plagiarism is faster

LOL

it could be at the top of that thread here , LOL ,
because I must thank 1000 times Thyme , to allow me to play with his avatars

now just to tease Thyme , LOL

coz I took some hair from some of his avatar ,
using it as a bath bonnet

drageure ce alain ^^

LOL , c'est une copine à Thyme , en plus

( et pour répondre à ton autre post
ça manque de phare et de crabes ici aussi )

l 'onglet machin.pov * Run une image bmp


*que tu obtiens en outputant PovRay de seamless

l'onglet machin.ini ** RUN tous les images de l'animation



** que tu obtiens en clik droit sur l'anim dans seamles ..output povray
movie



et fabrique le machin.bat qui fera le machin.avi

ah bah je faisais pas le bon output alors .....

ayez trouvé ..

Great work alain
I am currently playing with povray too and fixing a few things

You can use a PlaceTexture node to transform a Part's texture map alain. You plug the PlaceTexture node into the Seamless node and plug the Part reference into the PlaceTexture node.
The PlaceTexture has fields much the same as a VRML TextureTransform.
However you may not be wanting a PlaceTexture here. The TextureMapper can do most things you need in a more direct way.
I want to get the TextureMapper to be able to map an imported mesh more easily Alain but I will need to play with this more before I can explain this well.

I have been busy most of the day trying to figure out how to convert vrml/seamless viewpoints to povray (when perspective is ticked is same as vrml)
I am hoping late in the day I had a breakthrough, fingers crossed for tomorrow I will find a solution

1000 ko + 500ko

Nice moves Alain the movement looks very interesting

I notice too you have played with a povray camera that has perspective.

Some days ago I got perspective to export from seamless to povray exactly what you see in seamless but only when the window is exactly square
When the window is rectangular it stretches the image so am still left feeling rather frustrated but I must be close to my goal now
I am currently getting techuelife island to export to povray, I should soon be able to upload an animated hoppy with shadows to youtube

sounds very nice )

and yes I had great fun to play with povray





but as they are not my stuff , I must have a break LOL

( and re merci to let me etc )

btw fab is excited now about dynamic shadows ,

I guess you saw that

......

btw we are , Jack , Peugeotfast , re exploring augmented reality , nowdays

did you saw that ?

I will jump on that now

Thanks for showing more nice images of your lighting and shadow experiments Alain, I much enjoy seeing all of them even if I do not reply as much as I wished
Please do not stop playing with Lucy & Zoe on my account Alain, I made Lucy & Zoe open source to encourage others to play and learn seamless, it's that simple

Augmented reality (AR) is a field of computer research which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated data (virtual reality), where computer graphics objects are blended into real footage in real time.

I am sure this field will improve and it has its place but I often feel a lot of good 3d animated work is spoiled by superimposing the computer generated characters on top of a real movie.
Mixing the lighting for the computer generated model with real light is hard to get right and if not done well it feels too much like an animated cartoon character stuck on top of a movie, 2 mediums that do not mix.
Personally I would much rather put my energy into creating the plants and animals, this is after all where all the fun is and let the ray-tracer take care of calculating the beautiful complexities of the light interaction.

Here is an example of real plants mixed with computer generated dinosaurs, the plants look real which makes the dinosaurs look less convincing I feel

(There are also close ups that use animatronics but they don't look any better lol)

Compare this to the plants in Shrek where everything looks like it is in its right place, it may not look photo realistic but looks way more artistic.
Sorry searched for some time on youtube but I cant seem to find a good example of the forest or the sun flowers in Shrek right now lol
I must go back to sleep so I leave you in peace Alain
