Here we go again, but I'm taking a different approach to it this time. Rather than try to import characters direct into Vue, I'm using still frames rendered in Vue and Daz Studio, and then assembled in Nero Video. Not the way I originally planned, but at the moment it will have to do for now.
The picture on the right is a quick preview I did in Daz Studio to see how it would come together.
The picture on the left is a Vue render. I made it quite large so that it could be scrolled, and different parts of it could be used in a still frame.
Next, I started to produce some renders in Daz Studio of the main characters. I also tried including some props, like the grass, as well. This slowed down the render times quite a bit, so for the time being, I shall use a foreground layer rendered in Vue.
The last time I had tried doing an animation test with Vue was with Vue 7 Complete. The current version is now Vue 2015 Complete, which is effectively version 13.
This 20 second sequence is a big improvement from the previous one. The settings were set quite high up, and the resolution is also quite high, but it took just under 6 hours to render. I shall try something more complex to see how it goes.
This is still an on-going project, so there will be more updates to come on this page.
