Rendering
I am struggling immensely to render this an animate a turntable
for submission without internet help. I have called friends who have tried to
give me a talk-through guide over the phone on how to render and create a turn
table and from the sounds of it I’m not doing anything different so I am at a
loss. I cant even open up Maya help because that needs the internet to load.
As I am writing this blog post with the final door all lit up
(although even the lighting isn’t quite what I wanted as I couldn’t look up
techniques therefore I am not quite as happy with the outcome as I could of
been…) and the model complete all I need to do is render it and create a
turntable video but I just cant. So what I plan to do is blog about what I have
tried to do in order to render and create a turntable video so you can at least
see that I tried. I am going out somewhere that has internet later to upload
this blog and probably wont be able to blog any more after that so even if I
can get the door done I wont be able to upload it to my blog unless I do it
quickly at uni tomorrow which is
the deadline.
Moaning aside, here is what I am trying to do to get this door
to render and animate.
Overcoming the Problems...
Okay so I have had huge problems rendering my turntable video
for my door, all the suggested software to use I couldn't download due to my
internet being cut off at the worst possible time this weekend.
To combat this, Stacey helped me so much. I was able to go to
my partners to use his internet so big thanks to him! Here, I was able use the
internet to get in touch with Stacey and she was able to help me with the use
of a guide she used to do her turn table, to then do mine.
To do this I had to create a 90fps animation time line. Create
a camera myself in Maya and animate it so that it rotated around the front of
my door. I key framed it at frame 1 and at frame 90.
I then set up my render settings and made sure it batch
rendered the camera as opposed to the perspective view. This way it would
render (record) what the camera was seeing, which was the 180 turn around the
front of the door. After the settings
were done, I was able to select batch
render and render the turntable.
