Alive yeH

Now that I'm getting a lot of film and music stuff done I'm not writing here much... BUT I have some hanD_E 3d geek stuff I'll post soon that I've been learning... I'm all about learning tricks to be faster and more efficient so I'll pass some on to you...

I must say using Cinema 4d 11 and Zbrush 3 everyday is awesome... They are both super stable and quick... and I can pretty much make anything I can imagine with them relatively easily... If I could go back when I was learning Cinema 4d I would have paid more attention to reading the manual and learned what every tool did so I could use them the right way... I've wasted so much time in the past using tools the wrong way... but I guess I was always like panicking trying to get things done so I didn't give myself time to learn it just had to perform...

So yeh if your new to 3d take your time and learn the tools... try to figure out what they are all good for and use them for that... seems simple enough but like... I didn't do that haha

Also I'm pushing on my systems 8gb of ram... So it should be okay for now but if I could go back I would put 16gb of ram in all these machines instead of 8gb...

Since I already made an animated feature on my own I dont doubt whether I can do it like I did while working on WATS ...so this time I'm a lot calmer which is better for learning... BUT it is good to be a little afraid otherwise you'll get too cocky and not work as hard as you should ^_^ Its not like I'll fall victim to that haha yeh...

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
