Maya - perfect plane render

DiederikV

I made a couple of animations in maya using the materials and stuff and I'd like to make a sprite sheet out of them so that I can put them in Unity.

Here you have an example of an older effect I was working on(Download required):

Now what I am trying to do is put it on a plane an render it out but I can't seem to find a way to align the camera perfectly with the plane so that I have no spare space or dont clip anything off.

Is there a good way to do this?

Use an orthographic camera and set the Orthographic Width to the same size as your plane. Should match perfectly. It's set on the cameras Shape node.

Thanks, now I feel stupid. ^^

Alright, so I did that but I still seem to get a seem in my textures even though it loops perfectly in Maya, any thoughts on this?






Not sure if it is all that visible in the last image.

I'm guessing the texture sampling at the very edge of the plane is getting influences from the very other side of the texture. Probably due to texture's WrapS/WrapT in the engine. Try setting the texture WrapS/WrapT (or whatever they are called in Unity) to Clamp and not Wrap which is probably default. Might be called something like wrapmode the setting you want to find.
