  1. Great show guise and girl. A few questions/comments for the next ep:

    -How often do you seek out local exposure for your stuff? Conventions, panels, gallery shows, college art department showings?

    -Have you ever hit a low, so low that you just wanted to quit film making? If you did, how did you overcome it?

    -What has been your best moment so far in filmmaking?

    -Anyone ever seen "Kin Dza Dza?" it is one of my top 10 movies of all time. It's this Russian "cyberpunk" movie from the 80's, but it's more like rustpunk? It's awesome, I highly suggest it.

  3. This is a good show, and it's needed as there are few podcasts made by animators.

    Have you guys ever made a site or put the podcast in iTunes/Zune Marketplace? It would make it easier to pass the podcast along to other people. Like, "Go here and check out all the episodes."

  4. I guess my question is kinda techy but..like how do you personally create / use your textures? I see 3d models of humans for example, where the whole human, clothes and all, was made on one or a few textures. when for me, I'd have a seperate selection for the skin, shirt, pants, etc and would apply a seperate texture to each selection..

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
