Really nice work here Dreeko! Clearly and simply explained. Hope to see more, how about underwater light effects?


Thanks Jamie!
Underwater huh? What made you think of that one? I'm sure I could give it a bash.

Toonarama!
No the directional light can be positioned anywhere. It seems to have the same effect whether you place it on the ground or in the air. All you have to think about is the direction it points and the strength of the brightness you require.]]> Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:41:58 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1748-dreekos-tutorials.aspx Message from toonarama Must admit I have always assumed the directional light should be positioned at the light source but you are positioning it at the subject with much better effect. Is this the way it is meant to work?
Thanks

great tutorial dreeko - really appreciated. It is the additional touches like the use of a second light that make so much difference to the finished look. Thank you



Thanks Toon!

As Mysto has said previously, sometime you just do something and don't think about it (like the second light) So I'm glad that these little things are helpful!

Really useful tip Dreeko, and what a lovely looking scene it is. Now, how would you do puddles?


Puddles, hmmn.. I'll have a think about this one..]]> Thu, 03 May 2012 13:48:50 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1748-dreekos-tutorials.aspx Message from Dreeko Dylly wrote:
Excellent Tutorial! A question though...you moved the car at the end and the lights moved with the car..headlamps and tail lights...how was that done?


The lights on the moving car are part of the car. No external lights were added. If you go to the object properties of the car you will see that the brightness of the lights can be adjusted. The lights which were added to the stationary car may have made your
mind think that the moving car had the same, but this was not the case.

Look on the bright side, you have some new furniture and you know never to fiddle with codecs again.]]> Tue, 01 May 2012 21:14:10 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1748-dreekos-tutorials.aspx Message from Dreeko Dylly wrote:
A request for a tutorial...could you broach the subject of codecs...which ones, where are they found, how to install and set them up please?


Right!.... Today I decided to try and make a codec tutorial for the community, so I thought I would start from downloading the appropriate codecs and installing in a step by step basis and then moving on to preferences settings in the software that I use. Now this meant I had to remove the codecs from my system.

This was at 09:30 this morning
It is now 20:09 and my system is only now beginning to behave like it did before...

..I have been un-installing re-installing, tweaking, downloading removal tools and codec packs, performing system restores, rendering videos, re-rendering videos, tearing hair out, shouting, kicking furniture, buying more furniture to kick, kicking that and weeping in the foetal position.

I hate codecs....

...and , as you may have guessed..there is no tutorial.

The next tutorial will be on projections and lighting



..This is of course if I can ever manage to successfully export a movie from Muvizu again.
