stupid question, probably, but what program are you using?!

[LucasMartell]

@AppleMacApp4U Softimage (Formerly known as XSI)

[Spinal83]

Nice video, but what you didn't say is WHY you are doing all these passes instead of rendering it all at once. Does it render faster this way?

[LucasMartell]

Yeah its much faster. Check out episode 18 for a detailed answer: youtube. com/watch?v=aqf3ODHtPp8 (Remove the space)

[whitescape]

that was really helpful.

thanks! :)

[rahulthube2009]

okey thats how render fast and after that combine all stuffs in e fusion .nice

[stefanocelsi]

how do you feel about softimage being owned by autodesk?

[bigdanny1234]

@LucasMartell tbh the way you set up the lights is rather complicated, I myself would have simply used a single light with GI and AO enabled, much simpler, and I get pretty much the same result as you :)

Ive been starting to watch the podcasts 5 mins ago, and it seems to be very interesting. Thank You

[facepalmjpg1]

thanks for the tips on rendering pass :)

@nikhilesh93 Ya, I agree but bench does not moving. So it could be done by using PS or AfterEffects in postproduction....

[nikhilesh93]

@joviczarko It's a video, not a single frame...

[rileyk1998]

do think i could do this on a pc?

[joviczarko]

Hm... I do not know... but, I think it could be done much easier that you render your bench, and background, do some retouch in PhotoShop, and render pegeon, and overlay it with alpha channel... This is so complex that you done.... What do you think?

If Pixar saw your work, they would definitely want to hire you. I LOVE Pigeon Impossible.
