Clovis’ Vlog: Catnip!
David Andrade writes:
Hello BlenderNation! We’re back at it with a new Ray & Clovis short this month! Clovis is back with his vlogging. In his own words:
“Hey everyone, I’m back and answering some of YOUR cat-related questions. Who knew people knew so little about cats? Or about me? I need to do more of these… Plus, I show off my favorite toy of allll time!”
We hope you enjoy our foray into the blurry depths of Clovis’ mind, and enjoyed the short! As always, leave comments, we love reading them :) And don’t forget to catch more episodes here.
:dA:
Once in a while i see your videos, and your going better. (a lot better then your first).
I think you’re now at a difficult point, in your animation skill, most of the time your doing right.
But sometimes its a little out of the natural movement (forget eye blink) or stop to sudden mid air.
Maybe go back to rest pose (we humans do that all the time in our movement, most of our movement is driven by energy conservation). Overall nice done.. how did you ever solve your render time ? (you asked once on BA).
Do you bake the static room now ?.
I think the only thing getting baked is Clovis…
We render it like a normal render. We just use super optimized render settings. Low bounces, Open environments. Diffuse for all indirect bounces, Branched pathtracing, And just knowing what to do at the right times :D
