Test Animation
 

Ok, the credit's first.

Mesh is the Magellen, by Steven Davis

Original Render was at 720P or so, which I had not planned, but I'm not complaining about doing high quality stuff :tongue2: It took 3 and a half hours. This was rendered in Poser 7, then downgraded with windows movie maker.

good start .. it will be interesting when you add effects .. but will you be adding sound

Re: Test Animation
 

I have no software to add effects with :( As for sound, If WMM could do it, maybe, but I have no idea how to go about it. (I know how to add sounds, but I don't know how to make the sounds fade in and out as the ship approaches and leaves)

Re: Test Animation
 

Windows Movie Maker can handle sound but you only get 1 track so make it count.
On the positive side of things WMM is very easy to use with regard to blending sound A with sound B - you simply drag sound B onto sound A and you'll see a 'blue overlap' that shows you the 'fade effect' from A to B.

Additionally, WMM also allows you do an audio fade in and fade out.
That would be pretty useful for a flyby scene such as this.

Great start - now make sure you keep going.
...but we both know ya will!

I would strongly urge you to get the free video compiler VirtuaDub. Great for compressing frame sequences to video, and splicing an audio track to them. Not a lot of features, but lots of filters, and as long as all of your sources are the same, you can even merge multiple frame/video sequences.
