My MAC just finished rendering the following animation, I did it after watching a lot of video tutorials from digital-tutors and using Autodesk MAYA
It consist of 360 frames, exported from Maya in 360 different.iff files and then used Apple Shake to convert the .iff files into a quicktime movie
(See it in High Definition in YouTube by clicking "watch in high quality")
I was amazed how 3ivx coded compressed the final movie from 981 Megabytes down to only 3 MB !!!!
Could you believe this?? RESIZED DOWN 978 MBytes!!!
