Building a world...

I forgot how much time goes into building a 3d world... I'm almost finished with one of the sets for HSM... but like being "almost finished" can last for awhile because I'm always adding stuff or changing the lighting... I'm like expecting to build a whole set in one night ^ ^ but thats not how it is... I was building whatever I wanted the last few days but starting tomorrow I'll be back on the plan...

Had some weird stuff happening with Cinema 4d but copying and pasting everything into a new scene file seems to fix the weirdness... Sometimes the object manipulators stop working when I try to grab them... or just now... this scene with only 343,000 polys and 742 objects got SUPER slow in the viewport... I copied and pasted it into a new scene and the viewport was fast again?! I da know....just glad I found a workaround... THERES ALWAYS a workaround ^ ^ You just gotta grind and find it... apply it... then move on and keep working...

Oh yeh one of the people I met at teh awesome Waterloo Festival for ANimated film sent me a photo from a breakfast we had...

On the left are the owners of Anime Distributor Central Park Media... next to them is the AWESOME curator of the fest...next to his is this d00d who wrote a book on Mamoru Oshii...then meh...then the d00d who brought manga to america...he translates Osamu Tezuka's stuff... They were all really nice, interesting people and we had some great conversations even though I was the only one that didn't speak Japanese ^ ^

What format should I render out of Cinema 4d with?

UPDATED 2_27_13!  RENDER USING EXR Lossy Zip16! Since I'm working on a new feature film that will generate over 1500 shots made up of image sequences I need to make sure I choose the right file format to render to lest my hard drives explode. What I need from my format is  at least 16bit, an alpha included and preferably small size. I rendered out a frame from my film tallied up all the file sizes here- their all different types of codecs listed from smallest file size to largest. The render includes an RGBA pass, Depth pass, and Material Luminance pass because thats what I always render out. 1.00mb 8bit-Photo Jpeg %100 1.27mb 8bit-PNG 4.65mb 16bit- EXR lossy ZIP16 5.75mb 8bit-PSD 6.23mb 16bit-EXR lossy PLZ 6.44mb 16bit-PNG 7.94mb 8bit-TIFF 8.50mb 16bit-EXR Lossy 24 9.05mb 16bit-EXR Lossy Run Length 14.6mb 8bit-TARGA 22.4mb 32bit-EXR ZIP16 24.6mb 32bit-EXR Zip1 25.6mb 32bit-EXR PLZ 29.3mb 16bit-TIFF 29.3mb 16bit-PSD 40.0mb 32bit-EXR Run Length 58.7mb 16

So a guy is trying to take credit for my film...

TLDR- Scroll down to THE THIEVERY My name is Mike- I make films under the name "M dot Strange" and I have done so for the past 10+ years- this is my story as a filmmaker culminating in a recent event wherein a "filmmaker" tried to take credit for my life's work Here's my imdb page with my film credits  My web site Here's a reel with stuff from my original films in which I wrote/created/designed/animated etc everything that you see- I can and have performed all aspects of animated film production on my films- thats sort of how I made a name for myself- by being a one man animated film studio Here's a presentation from 2014 with me discussing the production of my last film My first animated feature film "We Are The Strange" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007 Sundance archives link Article about the film Link to the film Film's site Because of the buzz that film generated I was given offers to sell the
