     What goalposts have I moved? The brief and the final deliverables have not changed since day one.

  Just wanted to reiterate a point on the final deliverable from the brief... for anyone who has, or is going to submit an entry:
  
  "Final deliverable: 1920x1080 progressive, 29.97fps, Quicktime Photo JPG, 75% quality. 20 seconds would be ideal. Minimum of 15 seconds though and a maximum of 30 seconds.
  
  Bonus points if you can deliver as a 2880x1620 file, but quality is more important than resolution. Let me know in the comments if your entry will be provided at 1080p or 1620p."
  
  Thanks!

     Great, thanks. My main concern was with the duration... some entries were like 3, 8, and 14 seconds long. I was assuming that they were first drafts or needed extending, but just wanted to make sure. Needs to be 15 seconds minimum, which yours is. Good to know on the resolution though. Thanks!

     Hi, Work is in progress and I took too long to solve a problem with spot light, I'm now using Element 3D v2 and I'm almost there. I will submit in less than a day. Thank you for your patience.

  Just for the new people who are coming along.... unfortunately, it's not sufficient to buy a $7 clip from VideoHive and then just upload it as your entry. If it was that easy to make $240, then I'd stick in a couple of submissions myself! Please make sure your entries are entirely your own work. Thanks!

  I'm going to reject some entries when it comes to people who have submitted multiple versions. There might not be anything specifically wrong with those entries... just that I prefer the remaining one more, and it keeps everything better organized. Thanks!

  Just in case anyone is interested... if I was entering this contest (which I wouldn't as I don't know how to do the lines!), then my entry would look a little bit like this:
  
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAMYBXiSvvw
  
  There's no lines on there, and I'm not sure if the clouds should be as prominent and maybe the Earth looks a bit too 'real' for something that's mean to represent a stylised global communications network. The main thing I do like in my version is the sun, the camera move and the background.
  
  I'm not saying anybody should copy my example, or start from scratch or change their existing entries or anything like that. If your entry looks great then it doesn't matter if it's considerably different from this and there are already some great entries coming in that are different from this. However... if anybody is stuck, doesn't know where to start or wants a better idea of what I like and dislike... then hopefully this helps if only a bit.

  In the above entries, Who made complete there scene in After effects? without using any other 3d studios like 3ds max, cinema 4D or maya. I need to know that is it possible to make complete scene in After effects because I have spent much time on this project.

     I don't think it's possible in After Effects as if you were using particular or stroke, they're 3D plugins, but they don't react with other 3D plugins so the lines are either in front of the planet or behind it. I think it has to be done in a dedicated 3D program.

  Can we do the animation in 3ds max? If you just need the animation video then I can do it 3ds max. It can also be rendered as a transparent png sequence if you want to do compositing

  V2 wouldn't work in 1.6... but I guess you'd only need a pre-render of the Earth/Space/Sun to use as a guide for the size and rotation of the planet... and then you just the camera data.
  
  Might not be fair for people who don't use After Effects though. Or does everybody use it? Anyway, wouldn't be fair on people who didn't plan to use AE and now they have to.
  
  Maybe I should just keep it as it was originally. Anyway, let me know if it causes problems. I'm quite good at matching movements and stuff, so as long as I have a bit of info to go on, then maybe it would be fairer for me having to match you guys' camera movements when I'm comping everything together, rather than everyone having to match mine.
  
  I think we should leave it as is for now and carry on as we were, but if the option exists for rendering out just the lines with transparency then that would be cool. I can always pay a small bonus for the additional rendering time. Thanks!

     That would be fine too, we could do 2 movs, one with everything and one with the lines alone (+ alpha) and you could mix and match as needed.

     How has the brief changed?

     • 8 tahun yang lalu

  Question. How would people feel if I altered the deliverable of the contest to be a Quicktime PNG + Alpha of just the lines and the impact points? Then I can tinker with my own versions of the Earth, the Sun and the stars to my hearts content... and composite them all together in After Effects after the contest has finished.
  
  I'd probably have to get a bit of info from you with regards to the camera move and the rotation speed of the Earth, so I can match it up in After Effects, but it means you only have to focus on the one thing. No endless tweaking of the look of the Earth and the stars etc.
  
  I appreciate it means the work you've done so far was a bit of a waste, but on the other hand, it's unlikely I would have awarded the contest to any of the existing entries... and you've all had feedback on the way the lines reveal, so nothing has been a waste really.

     I can provide an After Effects project file with an Element 3D V2 setup. Although I should be able to export the camera data as well if that helps.

     I have Element 3D version 1.6, I think that would be compatible. not sure.
     for camera data, as I have based it on growing lines and what you have said (australia to america), I would appreciate if your provide your project with Reset camera. because I control the camera with other ways which is appropriate for growing lines. Thank you

  The size, shape, colour, speed and glow/lighting of the lines is pretty much perfect. The Earth looks good as well, but it's a flat plane... if it was something like that but on a sphere with the stars in the background, the sun and the camera pulling back then it would be pretty much perfect. Just so you know!

     No, it's mainly the thickness, the color and the glow/lighting style of the lines that I like... Ideally they'd still animate on. As for the Earth, I like the style in that video and I like the style in the original video I posted, but i'm not tied to any of them. Happy to see what people come up with.

  No need for an atmosphere. Sorry if my example confused things... it was just to show some of the people who had already entered that I'm looking for something with a certain level of quality. But no, no need to copy that or have an atmosphere or anything.

     do you also want the atmosphere to be considered as the main render? because in the example you have attached first, atmosphere is not considered. do you want the earth to be like "Main Earth Render"? because if I add atmosphere, the visibility of lines will be affected.
     I could create the lines above the earth, but as there is too much locations to be considered for the map, Render speed is slow and takes time more than regular.
