Hey Texelion, you are right, PBR is mostly used in games - not rendering... I hadn't really thought about that simple fact, so I will start looking more into mental ray shaders. I was making some progress with Mila shaders the other day, so I'll continue along that route!
Hey @Joao Sapiro We don't have specific plans for these yet but both are on our todo list to investigate for future updates. We had to do a big restructure for the baker to get it working with the new ray-tracing engine, and lost the ability to do lighting bakes in the process. But it may be possible to revive these in the…
From the screenshot provided it looks like either the meshs weren't properly aligned when the bake was done, or the bake cage was too large / rays traveled too far. I don't use Maya these days, but If you post the file this is happening with it'd be easier for people to give you more specific advise.
As above, also you may be better off down-scaling a larger map than anti-aliasing one. Trust me, 1000+ samples takes donkeys years to render... Could turn off back-face rays or whatever it's called, although you probably won't notice much of a speed difference.
I get the error after I plug in the outputs of the shaders into the color sections of the blend node.. and yes the renderer is set to V-Ray (I think I may have click I different node there) I'm trying out the VRayBlend Material and It's seems to be somewhat working, still not sure yet though.
hi Rebb, yes. i pretty much played around with everything! the normal map and shader does work...just not very well. i think it may be the fact that i didn't use mental ray. but keep 'em coming, guys. i'm still up for new ideas... thanks Rebb jase
Hey guys I started working on this the other day and am getting around to making a post for it. The initial story behind this "Beast" character is that he was taken from birth to be raised by nothing but war. Raised from birth in the art of killing his best friend was his sword and closest companion was death. He has known…
Saw this on Digg, thought you guys would like to see it, quoted below: [ QUOTE ] Every day, there are more and more Craigs List posts seeking artists for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of some form of illustrative service. But what…
I want to hire somebody who has already done professional modeling for games to spend some time with me on a skype call with TeamViewer open and show me the best practices ways to complete what I want to do. I use 3ds Max. The things I can really use some help with now are organizing assets, cage building, map baking, and…
Been a somewhat exciting couple of days. Firstly our DS top-down racing game Topgear: Downforce has been released in Japane under the far superior title of "Simple DS Series Vol. 13: Ijoukishou wo Tsuppashire ! The Arashi no Drift Rally" (I believe it translates to "Race Through Crazy! Weather Storm Drift Rally")…
