The camera path in the first animation is a portion of an arc. Reference the "From Frames to Movie" page for additional information on this process. Rhino makes an "html wrapper" (a local web-page that will load and play the frames in your web-browser), but this isn't appropriate for larger projects.
That animation (4x as many pixels) required about 3x as long to render as the smaller 320x240 version.Īs with the SketchUp and Kerkythea workflow, you will need to assemble your frames into a movie once the rendering is done.
When you're happy with the Target Folder, you can press Enter no the keyboard or right click next to the command and select Enter from the pop-up menu.At the very least, review it to make sure the designated folder exists on your system. It shows the current "Target Folder:" and there is a pretty good chance you want to change this. If nothing seems to be happening, notice the prompt up in the Command: area.If you click on any of the "usual" blue "Render" buttons, you will only get the current view settings.
Make sure to use the VRay options to set all rendering options prior to clicking this button, as it is not possible to cancel a rendering sequence, once started, except by use of the Windows Task Manager. This is where VRay gets called to do the renderings. This renders with the current viewport settings, which will often produce real-time (preview) results. The camera is held still and the sun is moved. The camera is moved along the line, with station point an focal point selected to keep the view-vector tangent to the line. In these animations a single line is selected to steer the animation. This becomes a folder name and the folder will receive a serialized set of frames. In this mode, you select a camera path (a Rhino line or point object), a target path or point, a number of frames, an output file type, a rendering level ("Frame capture method"), a viewport (usually "Perspective"), and a provide an output "Animation sequence name".
