Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

render results : large file size?

I just rendered an animation of 1000 frames with a resolution of 320x240 , no ray tracing and low quality resolution.

And YET, the resulting .avi file turned out being about 300MB !!!!!!

Is there a way to make it smaller?


thanks,

convert the file after that to divx or some other compression maybe?

u might want to use a different image format, some formats like tga and tiif are pretty big in file size

Maya's .avi render isnt very good.

You should render in image format and use free software like VideoMach (or use Premeir or After Effects if you have it) to combin these into a .avi. You'll get a smaller file size.


Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

The reason it is so big is because it's uncompressed video.

To reduce it's filesize you'd have to encode it with a video codec.
