Your Clan Vid
So rofldragon talked to me and asked about some clan vid stuff. Also I'm entirely aware that I quit your clan; I have no intention of returning. But anyway;

So using a screen capture program, I'm pretty much completely against that.

Instead you should use POVray.

Nokturnal posted a handy-dandy tutorial on using it a while back (09-16-2006).

It happens to use inc files (shaders as you're likely used to knowing them as) within these renders, so you can import the ones from tori. I have a few custom ones setup with ambient clouds, differentiation between toris, and a nice blood display configured. However these are on my desktop computer and I'm on my laptop at the moment, so for the effort of switching over I'd want to charge you like 10k TC. BUT the ones that tori has will work just fine.

POVray will output video as a series of frame-by-frame images, so you'll need a separate program to compile all of those into a single video file.

These images will then need to be complied using a video compiler.

Is a reasonably good one. I recommend compiling at 30 fps or somewhere between 30 and 60, 60 has a tendency to appear much faster than you'd want for a clan video.

Make note that the higher resolution you render your replay at, the longer its going to take per replay. At max settings it could take up to 2 or 3 hours -PER REPLAY- if you're using a fairly crappy computer.

Best plan is to give whoever in the clan has the best computer the rendering software, have them render and compile it all. Send the compiled files to who ever needs them (whoever is putting the video together). And just unleash whoever your lord of clan video creation is; upon them.

Attached are some single-frame renders from RIP. (two)



I know you like mah clouds :3. JK, just those actually took some work to get all programmed. They're generated entirely through code.

Anyway, that's my recommendation. Takes some time, turns out amazing. Have fun out there.
