Use tga? Can you educate me a bit on the other MZu video option pros & cons?
Can I use Nero media software to edit a tga? Will the end quality be as good as the uncompressed avi?


thank you, thank you...

Thanks for restoring my sanity!
Back to rendering shorter clips in uncompressed avi.....]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:08:32 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5165-lighting-causing-rainbows--shiny-circles.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 CloudNinja wrote:
Whoops - ok - now how do I play the uncompressed avi? It won't play in VLC or Win7 media player....I tried loading it into Nero Recode - nada....


thanks again,

It won't play if it's over 2gb - it's a problem with the version of avi Muvizu uses. You could render small (20 second?) segments, and if that doesn't work, have a go with tga.

The codecs compress it so it's not so big, but some (especially the microsoft one) take it out on the quality of the output.

1 - the middle, brown toon building
2 - the "Apt 3A" wall
3 - the toon door being opened
My settings are:
I've turned my "Ambient Light" setting to "0"% and only using "Directional light" combined with "Point Light" - for sure the "Point Light" is causing the shininess on the apt 3A" wall...but why?
My Make Video settings are: output: "Video"; Codec "Microsoft video msvc"
My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 (pretty decent card - no?!).
The frustrating thing is that this doesn't show in the MZu camera view - only after rendering - so it's a bit of a pain to trouble shoot...any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
thanks,
