Okay so may I state the obvious, while this is a great video and of interest no doubt to just about everyone, what would be the chances of seeing other such information clips, say on rigging, aplying rail or weathering, I am one of those types of people that learn faster from watching rather than being told (reading), and obviously looking at pix and reading step by step is a fantastic way to learn any subject, I am a visual person.
Sorry for my late reply. I often try to run some tests before only explaining my opinion about it. So in this case as well.
I really like the Video step by step and tutorials and i decided to give my self a try.
In this case, the topic was about rendering wood grain in combiantion with a glaze technique, to create the illusion of real wood in large scale plastic modeling.
One of these videos was abut 4 minutes long and was recorded in HD. In HD we have the issue that one second takes 1MB data volume.
Easily we exceed 240MB total data volume for a 4min clip.
And here the troubles begin. Especially with windows.
240MB is quite a lot data for a average user, still in our times. It has to be converted, edited, we need music, and so on.
Before you have to find software, book a good bandwith at your isp, gotta have a nice camera...
At the other hand the setup at the bench is quite inconvenient. In the following video i had the problem that my eyesight was in a different angle to the lightsources as the objective of the cam was. So we have this darn reflections over almost the whole movie.
With stretched sprue for example, you will shurely need a second person who takes the shot. Or maybe a good tripod.
Its nice, but...you know....simply laborious...
And veeeery time consuming (take it, edit it, convert it, upload it......)
Some boards have different html codes for the right resolution.
So i was not able to change settings to the way it should be in this post here.
Now the comments are difficult to read. It´s better to watch it at youtube it self.
Two examples of recently made vids. The lower one was just made because i was happy to have found a way to improve a engine, and found a way to paint it later. It was not meant that honest.
