Subject: Playing with replicated birds
Looks brilliant. Perhaps when you render it at a large size you could put some depth of field in so that the focus is taken off the background.
There's also a tool called "swap" from http://www.inagoni.com which you could use to put some balls or low rez models in place of birds then swap them back when you are happy.
I wish swap would work for what I doing. I think if I had 33 actual boned birds in the scene, I'd drash for sure. Another thing I was thinking was to bring in each bird as a posed, not boned, maybe low polycount with nice texture.. then I could have a lalf dozen poses instead of three - or twelve poses - and the little legs are not tucked back. I don't have enough depth of field going, just a little. Thanks for the tip. R

What you are attempting to do would not work well as an animated gif which only support 256 colours.
Depending on your platform, you could export as a .MOV (probably best for posting here) or a series of frames (to convert in a video package of your choice) or I use uncompress AVI and then use Microsoft Movie maker to convert that into a WMV.
Hi Onimousplay, Animated gif are THE lowest common denominator. To get get good quality usually results in files too big to post here at Renderosity. Gifs are better for non-photographic subjects. It's just a curse of the format. That said, the settings of Adaptive and 256 colors are usually the best. I wouldn't be optimistic that these will yield satisfactory results. :-/

I wanted to have a flock of birds - after loading three, all with bones from Poser, I was able to replicate them - with luck. My computer put up a fight with just 3 poser birds in the set up room at the same time. Can't afford a new computer yet. This image is a test to see how these will look matted/ framed. Any suggestions? I wish I could move the replicated place holders individually- That would be da bomb. RNever Give Up!
