I then decided to keep playing and the GIF above is what transpired. I find GIFs intensely annoying so this one will only run five times then stop, hopefully encouraging you to pop back for another peek. Amazingly it stops at the end and not at the beginning which would be a bit silly. I'm sorry about the moire patterns in the background. I used the world as a reflector for light and should have remembered that is what happens. I ought to have used a pale yellow emitter instead. Also the chocolate squirts out of the frame. I never noticed, should have either moved the camera back or increased the lens angle also the letters slide back as they are generated this is because the chocolate flow is controlled by a posh Bezier curve except mine must have a straight bit at the beginning. I enjoy this virtual photography malarkey. I have also made Chocolate the Movie for those of you with the attention span of a gnat. I could premier it tomorrow.
Brilliant, the choc I mean.
ReplyDeleteBob, it makes me fat.
DeleteBrain Food indeed. Very clever Adrian! Bezier Curves sound so sexy don't they? The kids at school are making an opening sequence for Have Gun Will Travel. I will have to see if I can share some in a few weeks. They are building brilliant scenes of a Western town in 3DsMax. We will render the animation out to an lavish and do the cut scenes and titles in Premiere.
ReplyDeleteCarol I use Bezier curves or as Adobe call them paths for lots of things. This was much quicker than using a fluid simulator.
DeleteYou really ought to be using Fusion for compositing. It's an Australian company now and free from Black Magic in Melbourne. You could call in on your way to work or download it like I did.
Not a lavish ~ an .avi
ReplyDeleteAnd you have turned comment moderation on ~ to rid yourself of the spammer?
It only took two comments to get rid of her on my blog.
Yes. anything up to ten a day on posts going back weeks.
DeleteWish I had one quarter of your wit, Adrian, or your tech savvy. "Chocolate the Movie" - now there's a smile for the day. Thanks! McGregor
ReplyDeleteMcgregor, I was very tired this morning when I wrote this post. I'm all right now after a siesta. You are quite right "Chocolate the Movie" is a very silly idea.
DeleteGood luck on your new wildlife photo ventures.

Mersad, I am on my way into the deepest jungle in a minute.
DeleteI never fail to be impressed a fortiori because I have no idea what you were writing about. I lost myself in the tree after opening the chocolate in a new image several times.
ReplyDeletePS Why not just have comment moderation for past posts?
ReplyDeletePPS One of the things about moderation on the current post is that you don't read other people's comments until after yours is written if they are still waiting moderation.
ReplyDeleteGraham, I really look forward to seeing what Blender developers have been up to. There is a new Hair simulation tool that looks more than a little stupid. I'' try and think of something to use it for.
DeleteComment moderation is off except for post older than two days. I reported Sophia et al to Gmail and now all my mail goes into the spam box. The trouble these bastards cause.
Happy you popped back for repeat looks. It wasn't the original intention but I detest having something cycling away on the blog.
There was an old seadog called Adrian
ReplyDeleteWho sailed cross The Mediterranean
With Molly and Alf,
A parrot called Ralph
And a fellow called Red who’s Canadian
That's very good and not a mucky word in sight.
DeleteSi fuera de verdad me lo comía ... Me encanta el chocolate ;))
ReplyDeleteEl árbol está precioso .
Buen fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
Laura, yo sólo comprar uno al mes. El chocolate me hace la grasa. Se trata de un hermoso bosque.
DeleteNow you have me longing for the chocolate bar in my fridge. You could sell that to some advertising company.
ReplyDeleteMonica, you will have to warm it up if you want to teach it to write. It is nothing like the quality advertisers would want. The editing required to get anything like perfect is horrendous.
DeleteAdfriaan amazes me more and more.
ReplyDeleteBas, I amaze myself as well.
DeleteWell, the brain food has me mesmerized. It's interesting to hear how the little video is made.I like chocolate and the motion fascinates me. I really need the brain food!
ReplyDeleteRed, 3D animations can get very tiring.
DeleteI think a lot of people are getting hooked on Gifs my nephew had to do some for his school homework, I never felt so stupid. I like yours it made me hungry, good luck with the Cuckoo.
ReplyDeleteDouglas, they have always been used but so many are very choppy. My header is a GIF. Your nephew needs to use at least twenty frames a second of run time and then don't loop it unless there is a good reason to do so.
DeleteThe cuckoo is across the valley but not calling very often so perhaps has found a mate.
Very spectacular video. Liked it :)
ReplyDeleteKovacs, it's just a bit of fun.
Deleteeh...I prefer the trees over the bugs anyway *wink*
ReplyDelete(I love trees...and clouds....)
R.Mac, plenty of clouds here it never stopped raining for twelve hours and when it stopped it rained a bit.
