Title: Halloween Animation
Post by: Gtelis on 2016-11-01, 15:09:26
A short halloween video to test the corona volumetrics and animation capabilities.
Modeled on 3ds max and marvelous designer, rendered with corona render, composed on Nuke and graded on Premiere.

I always like seeing animations :) TY for sharing!

Nice one, could you please tell me the render time, I always find difficult to get rid off the noise using the volumetrics effect.

Nice one, could you please tell me the render time, I always find difficult to get rid off the noise using the volumetrics effect.

I used only one IES light which made the scene very light, I also used single bounce scattering on the Volumetric material which saved a lot of time.
The time was 2min 10 sec/frame on each rendernode at 4K,  12passes+ Noise reduction (each rendernode uses 2x 2690v3 xeons)

Interesting,it's a very good render time. I have to do more test with the volumetrics.
One more things, are the particles added in post?

Cheers.

The particles were rendered in Nuke , mostly for speed (DOF, motion blur takes time on raytrace renders) and safety (if i need to change something it will not take 3-4 hours of additional render.
I also uploaded a screenshot of the nuke setup for anyone interested on the particle effects.

Perfect I supposed that, I am an AE user, I never tried Nuke, I have to do it at some point.
Cool result, I can see how flexible is Corona not only for arch visualisation.

Corona is great for most 3D rendering applications, it evolved very well. Still missing some options, VDB volumes and particle rendering but I am sure the team will add support at some point.
I still remember corona on the alpha 4 state and I am very pleased on how fast it evolved.
