it takes 4 or 5 minutes to load, its downsampled from a 1920x1080 animation.

its a loop meant for continuous play.........

I had two Cinema 4d users look at this and go “EI Camera did THIS?!”

I JUST SMILED.....

Scott, Excellent work!!!!!!!!!
I went to your site supernova...your demo reel is unbeleivable.!!

Since you are an experienced user of EIAS & all available plug-ins, I have a question.
Plz give your valuable reply.

I am using dante 3.1 UB version with EIAS 7.01 in Macpro 3.2Ghz leopard with 6GB RAM.

During rendering the camera crashes after rendering app. 100 frames.
I tried dante 3.1 with different projects...even unistalled and installed again.
The project is perfect without Dante.

(However I have old dante 2.6 with G4 and classic version. EI universe 4.0. No crash there)

And no reply from Brad..........................

thanks Dominic, I need to be gentle here.  I own virtually all northern lights plugins and only have gotten use out of one of them to date. (dante) I would suggest doing your particle systems in post with a program like Particle illusion or Trapcodes Particular.  Thats what I use.  Ocassionally i composite the results of those back into 3d (like i did in the sample animation for zillion tv) EI, I am hoping, will add a particle system in the future.  But I do what I need to do in the meantime.  EI and Camera are SO good and SO fast that I have no problems with what it lacks in other areas temporarily.

Good luck, and hang in there with EI, it is so good at so many things!

Scott, nice loop. I especially like the rainbow refraction going on in the background.

James

Hi Scott,

Thankx for your honest opinion.
I am too happy abt EI’s fast and quality rendering.
And do some other stuff in 3dMax bcz of wider support.

I forgot the cool thing about this.  A coworker of mine at this startup im working at right now, saw the rendering
quality and immediately looked into and then purchased EI 7 today! 

Now that is what I like to hear!

Go Scott!
Ian

Great work Scott.

The flares and refractions are great. How long did the renders take? Did you use Knoll lense flares within EI?

Ash

Hi Ash, I used knoll in AE, THEN brought it into EI.  the render stats are over on CG talk.  But briefly, Camera rendered 1920x1080 2x2 sampling on an 8 core 2.8 ghz machine at roughly 30 minutes a frame.  Or with 8 cores, 16 frames an hour or about 3 minutes and 45 seconds a frame in total.....
