How to create animation with python and PyODE package.

Falling Boxes in HD.  PyODE animation. from Krzysztof J Pakula on Vimeo.


Instruction for Linux Ubuntu users.

1. You already should have version of Python installed by default on your machine. 

2. Install packages PyODE and cgkit 

    > sudo apt-get install  python-pyode 

    > sudo apt-get install  python-cgkit 

3. Download python script pyode_ex_hd.py .  

4. By executing this python script you will create pyode_ex_hd.rib file 

    > python pyode_ex_hd.py

5. Install Pixie renderman program. ( If you have problem finding renderman install from this deb file) 

6. Download and compile surface shader file  occsurf2.sl    

    > sdrc occsurf2.sl 

7. Render the rib file   

    > rndr pyode_ex_hd.rib  

    Rendering the rib file will create series of picture files in pyode_ex_hd.001.tif , ..., pyode_ex_hd.300.tif
    It will take few hours depending on the speed of your computer.
8. Install ImageMagick on your Ubuntu system
    > sudo apt-get install imagemagick
9. Using ImageMagick Convert all tif files to png format.
    > convert pyode_ex_hd.001.tif  pyode_ex_hd.001.png
       ........
    > convert pyode_ex_hd.300.tif  pyode_ex_hd.300.png     

10. Using VirtualDubMod program create single uncompressed avi file from tif files.

    This step shall be done on Windows machine. 

    You must use vcf configuration file   pyode_ex_hd.vcf 

    >VirtualDubMod   /spyode_ex_hd.vcd  /x

11. Compress avi file to mp4 format using H.264 encoder.
