    Stezza, you are on a roll!  Awesome.

    I am playing with a few more characters derived from my toon figures.  Here is a classic slapstick scene in which a guy carrying a long board or ladder or similar is distracted and hits someone in the head while turning to look.  Animating is going to be a chore but I am looking forward to the challenge.

    Thanks for the comment, Bunyip.

    Here is another toon character clown for the epic.  Hopefully recognizable, but might need his brothers for context.

    Pretty good.  A suggestion, his memorable walking pose might help, see attached.

    Ouch!  Thanks for the heads up.  Will investigate further.  I still have a lot to do before I start test renders, but forwarned is forearmed.

         Yeah ,  Ouch!  , indeed    ~  and how to  work with an sequence ??   - an video editor , then is it  -

    yeah video is a risky option, I always do video sequences in Carrara and DAZ studio.

    some of my other programs it's safer such as Unreal Engine and iClone

    I think most video editors will import JPG and other standard image sequences.  My Vegas Pro certainly does, you select the first image, then click a box "import sequence" and the program offers the number of the last image, which you can change if you don't want the whole sequence.  After that, its like any video clip in the "Imported Elements" window, drop it on the timeline, move it around, etc.

    Nooooooo !!!!

    The power went off when I was 3/4 of the way in rendering my sequenced jpegs......

    Back to square one again !

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 38,206

    you still should have the ones you rendered

    ...as long as you don't leave them in that temp folder

    never render to the temp folder

    just continue on (saving to a new folder and move any from the temp folder before you open Carrara)

    Hello Wendy

    I copied all of the Jpegs from my DazTemp folder just in case Carrara deleted them.

    Question, how do I run the render from the last frame that was rendered before the power went off ?

    Is running at 1 minute 19 seconds a frame so thats a considerable time for over 1800 frames !!!

  • Bunyip02Bunyip02 Posts: 8,602

    Just thinking - if I divide the number of frames outputed with the 24 frames per second that I did the animation at should give a time reference....

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 38,206

    in the ass room change it from time to frames and you will have frame numbers instead of minutes and seconds

    then in render you can set the start where you left off

    you need to save in another folder and join the videos afterwards as Carrara will number it from 0

  • Bunyip02Bunyip02 Posts: 8,602

    Woohoo - now rendering at 25 seconds per frame !!!

    Don't know why it was taking 1 minute and 19 seconds before....

    Congrats, Bunyip!  I'm following, but very far behind.  Just started watching videos on the walk cycle. :)

    Well done.  Easy to recognize even without the pose.
