70k Tet Cylinder

**AquaGeneral** · 02-10-2009, 03:46 AM

A little test I did worked out very well. The total render time was only 5hrs. Which is actually very fast for the complexity.

I spent about 10-20 minuites waiting for the tet generation.

C&C Welcome, bear in mind I am very early into learning Maya.

Wow very nice ! I love the result ! I suppose you rendered it in "dmm cinematic" mode ?

Holy CRAP how did you get it to look that nice... that was AWSOME keep the videos coming...
how long did it take to render that???

He said that it took 5 hours

Not surprising for a 70k tet mesh (I can't even imagine the polycount

)

lol i probebly should have read what he said before posting... how do you get it to render like that?

To be honest I don't even know where to go to change between the two different modes.

I basically used the exact settings in this tutorial, though I did not make the texture and I did not change the enviroment colour. Here is the tutorial I used.

After the first impact the cylinder stays in some shape, but after the second it fractures to the small pieces.
Is there any trick or it just happened? I would have expected some big pieces to stay un harmed

It actually turned out like that unexpectedly. I tried to get this to the rendering stages as quickly as possible since I was going to be away from the computer for a few hours. It took me a few attempts to finally render this one, the mesh generation took about half an hour. I probably could have tried lowering the polygons on the cylinder however, low and very high poly objects behave differently.

The simulation began to take roughly 2-3 minutes per frame, so previewing it in the viewport wasn't a great idea either. So basically, I couldn't find the patience to play around with the material settings to make it more like a real life material.

dont know why, but it seems there is a problem with the download - it gets the first 977kb, then stops and the mp4 file cannot be opened. Is this issue only happening to me? :/
