The 18 computers are all just the ones in our tech lab on the network, I could probibly use them over a weekend or something, all have only 1 gb of ram and a not dual core processor. I might end up brining my new computer in to help out in that case, make it even faster. (dual core, 2 gig ram  )
So far with video post I have found what I have so far in it easy to do, your saying I can just render all the other stuff seperatly and add them to my video post? That would probibly be the way to go for me. That would also make it more flexable, render one scene, tweak it to my likeing, then do another, then finally the one with video post, and add sound. I'll look into the video post somemore.
The skylight, when I added it to this scene took a while to render. Im testing out the mr sky and me sun right now.
I dont think I will do bucket rendering for this, sounds like a good method though if I had 8 higher end machines. For this I will probibly just net render. Do all of the computers need to have 3ds max on it? I will look into this more. Thank you all very much. |
You can use other programs to composite your animation entry and premiere is very good for compositeing sound but,
I HIGHLY RECOMEND THAT YOU DONT USE ADOBE PREMIRE FOR THE FINAL OUTPUT OF YOUR ENTRY. While premire is good for video, editing sound, and such, it is just awful with the required codecc (NSTC- DV/DV PRO .mov). Trying to export in this codecc using premire will butcher the quailty of your video like a dozen pigs in a giant blender on liquify. Instead I recomend exporting your video as an Uncompressed .avi (make sure that the video is getting exported as "progressive scan" and not "lower fields first" or "upper fields first") then importing it into Avid DV pro. Its far better with the NSTC codecc.
And while avid is great with the NSTC codec. I personally dont like the interface of the program and only use it to change the video format.
