Finally decided on book

Even though I've been too busy to return the query letter to the publisher that was interested in me doing a book for them 0_0 I'm going to do a book and figure out how to release it when its done... but yeh I've decided that the best thing I could right now is to make a guide to making solo animated cg feature films... because there is no book for that... I'll release the book when HSM comes out so then I'll have made 2 animated cg features alone using my process which I will share in the book... It will be both technical and motivational/philosophical... think of a mix between "Rebel without a crew" and "The war of art"... So yeh thats what I'm gonna do... I'll interview the other people that have made solo animated feature films as well and put them in the book... My goal with the book is to turn you into an unstoppable one man army animator ^ ^ I will share all my techniques and tactics...

Y0 Thorgin! I just posted the complete c4d/Zbrush vid ^ ^

    YES! WE NEED MORE BOOKS ABOUT THIS PROCESS! A very dear friend of mine, Tim Albee, wrote a book a few years ago called "CGI Filmmaking/ The Creation of Chost Warrior." If you haven't checked it out yet I highly recommend it. His tool of choice at that time was Lightwave; the book is filled to over-flowing with lots of practical tips for the lone animator / storyteller.

    Great news. I'm really looking forward to read that and more than willing to translate it for you in spanish/german (if needed) ,D
    (it may also help you as a self-reflection of your work, which is always useful).

    So glad to hear you want to write a book about solo animation. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

    If you are interested in self-publishing try lulu.com. They have a good reputation and are reasonably priced.

    Yay!

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
