How can the moon not be round? Its a sphere so whichever way you look at it it will be round :lol:

Not if you are stood below a sphere looking through an atmosphere its not, it will appear oval. The shot in question is a matte shot from below, its in a big thread at fh

It isn't round anyway it seems:

What people forget to see is that a proper aspect ratio is just meant to make the people look "normal" and balls and moons "appear" round to you. If they do already, then any more time spent measuring ball radius's in nanometers is time ill-spent. Unless it is a perfect circle drawn legibly on the wall and presented to you in a head-on shot which will let you clearly plot its center and measure its diameter vertically and horizontally, it is a flawed measurement. Balls, moons, wheel hubs and all that is never a proper measurement. These as presented on the screen needn't be exactly circular/spherical in the first place and even if they are, what you see could have easily been distorted by the camera angle used by the director on that shot.

Then begins a big argument :lol:

In the end, that rig shot never yeilded a spherical moon.

Thankyou for showing me the ripping thread on FH, I couldnt find that the other night & I even pm'd a few rippers who also couldnt find it :lol:

Just searched at fh:

emule PC crashed. I was out of town. Just got back. Would need to recover/repair/reinstall everything, it looks like. No ETA as of now since I am very busy otherwise too.

Must have been a bad crash... :lol:

FH showed him as logged in a couple of days ago. So maybe's he started lurking again. :shadey:

OK, well, I don't blame myself for not knowing what you meant, the "huh?" was rather vague :lol:

OK so I just had a quick go at this step by step

I got to the .d2v part, made the sample thing fine, went to the bitrate screen and opened up the file, but every time I do it crashes GK

So can't do much else
Any ideas?
Thanks

Scrap that, I read it wrong and kept closing the info box :roll:

BadBugs

Ok, is there something that I need to highlight in the guide? I have a feeling both you & slayer did the same thing

yellow_pages

Erm maybe where you say

Now another box will pop up displaying how its saving your project .D2V file like in the following:

You could perhaps add, leave this box open until the time in the bottom left has elapsed? Something like that maybe.

No, it wasn't the same mistake. I didn't wait long enough for the .d2v to be saved properly. So my .d2v was corrupted, I think that's different. Or is it?

Yup, thats what I did.

I would shut the info box each time because I thought thats what I was meant to do :watchingyou:

I've rewritten the text & changed the screenshot, is that any better ? :mrgreen:
