Character Rendering and Displaying

theStoff

I am currently trying to learn how to render my characters. I've been using maya but I don't feel I've set up my shader properly because nothing ever comes out to be very clean. I've also been finding an interest in displaying my characters in UDK. If anyone can explain how to display a character with either of these tools it would really be appreciated. Also, what is Marmoset? Is that part of UDK? I am sorry if a thread similar to this already exists, I wasn't sure.

marmo is a stand-alone rendering program

Depends, why don't you post an image as to what you mean by 'clean'? Maybe you don't need to change from Maya at all.

Haha, yeah I should probably learn to use google, everyone's using it these days. As for not being clean I have just found that things are blurry. This might be a lack of optimization with my UVs though. I have also heard that enlarging your model on the stage improves quality but this doesn't seem like a proper solution. Beyond that I would still like to learn other rendering tools. I plan to get on that soon. Thanks for the replies.

...could be something as simple as your render settings in Maya needing adjustments

Are you using the "High Quality Display" from the menu in the Maya's Viewport?

Try using the HQ display or the Viewport 2.0 options.

I've experienced some issues regarding the said options above. I've been working with Unity , and for the final test(alphas, normal maps etc) I use Unity shaders.

How do you change to HQ display?
