Terragen
3D Animation has resurfaced in my life. I have the feeling that this is a distinctly bad thing, what with finals looming o’re the horizon. However, in the meantime it’s entirely too cool.
This was my second attempt playing with it at 2 am this morning:
Click here to see the video (requires the Divx codec found here).
I made this using four pieces of software in combination:
Terragen – actual rendering
CamPath – designing the flight
BMPSeq – turning the exported BMP sequence into an uncompressed AVI
Virtual Dub – compressing the uncompressed AVI into something that is reasonably sized
The interface for Terragen and CamPath are amazing intuitive and easy to figure out (at least it made sense to me). The above video took less than 45 minutes to design (but 3 hours to render). I’ve just been playing with it on my laptop thus far, we’ll see how my desktop can handle it.
In other news, Terragen 2 is coming out soon and it looks amazing.
