Building fly through

This is an animation carried out for a construction company to convey their methods to a client. Such animations allow all members to get on the 'same page' so to speak.

Cool stuff, you gave me some good inspiration to try some new things. thanks!

I'm glad, remember to check out my site and contact me if you ever need this sort of work done on a contractual basis :)

Nice work. What are you rendering with?

[MrCoastalconcepts]

KerkyThea engine through Twilight, would like to do some additional tweaking but don't have time to re-render :( BTW how did you get the smooth transition between styles on your sketchup house animation?

[WeakEndProductions]

Twilight. Hmmm. Looks good.

Smooth transitions? What I did was to build a hidden inclined segmented circle around the model. Make 'Scene' stations at each circle segment. That way 'start' and 'end' line up as a seamless loop. Render each spin around the circle using a different 'Style". In my movie making software, 'Sony Vegas', I cut out the dwell at each 'Scene' station for each render so that the movement is constant. Dissolved from one 'Style' to another after lining up the renders.

[MrCoastalconcepts]

I see, so you used the movie software to 'dissolve' between styles - makes sense as SU doesn't do it very well. Good stuff. Are you a builder?

[WeakEndProductions]

I built that house in 'meatspace' a number of years ago. I still remember the details and adding all those to the model really makes it come alive. It's really kind of a 'Time Machine' that I constructed in SketchUp.

Very nice

Thanks, although you are blowing my hi tech alias as the 3D modeler known as Mrcoastalconcepts :)

Very nice work Ash, the rendering has worked out nicely.
