The first 276 frames from my 3D Module uni coursework!

This is just a low-quality preview at 576 x 324.  The actual rendering is at 1280 x 720 (16:9 ratio) at 25 fps.  Each frame was rendered to a lossless *.png file in 3dsMax, imported into Adobe After Effects as individual frames, and exported as a Apple Quicktime *.mov file.

The advantage of rendering this way is that if 3dsMax happens to crash, or there is a problem with a single or small sequence of frames then they can be rendered on their own and placed back into the final animation in After Effects.  This is far better than rendering straight to video format from 3dsMax as there is more control over the compression settings of the animation, and as mentioned before – if the software does crash, the rendering process doesn’t have to begin from the start of the animation, rather, just from the frame that the crash occured.
