Re: How do you uv hi-poly models?
I may be asking the obvious, but did you try rendering it without mentalray? As a Maya/MR user, I would suspect it's a setting in MR. No idea how approximation and the like are implemented in Max, though. @renderhjs, sianki and Valander -- thanks for the thoughts on the 3rd party tools. Sounds like UVLayout and Topogun are… -
Re: Pior on CGsociety :)
The devil is sitting under the V in LIVE right at the back, like its pointing right at him. Don't look into his eyes or he will steal your soul. Terrible red eye in those photo's BTW. Pior rules, but he gets no grats for being able to be photoed. Not sure which is Mr and Mrs bird. -
Re: 3ds max lighting help
If you use mental ray, then you need to use mr Lights, and watch the shadow settings, mostly you want to use raytraced shadows for mr renders. for the viewport check if it's set to shader or realisitc (and click on the smal + in the corner to open settings, u need to set viewport lighting to "scene lights") -
Re: Any cooks / bakers out there?!
I like to cook every now and then; Chicken fried rice, fajitas, tacos, nachos, lol. What I really enjoy is BBQ-ing! So much fun. Now I'm just waiting for Mr. Stubbles and/or Mr. Mathis to come post about all the wondrous meals they make :P -
Re: Baking lighting-Normal mapped object (maya 6)
Yeah, I checked it out this morning, and you have to use the Mental Ray one and back with MR, I couldn't get the Maya one to work (it bakes out each channel separately - ie the bump gets a baked bump map, the colour it's own, etc - instead of combining them). But MR does it perfectly -
Mental Ray Fast Skin issues
Hello guys i'm having some weir problems with MRs SSS fast skin material, no matter what i do, no matter what lightsources i use, the brightest part will always be grayish. I thought it might be some gamme stuff but as you see other MR shaders can get white. I really don't know whats going on and its driving me crazy :/ -

Re: random sheep sound
render setup -> common -> assign renderer -> production -> mental ray render to texture -> Add -> Ambient Occlusion(MR) -> samples 128, spread between 1 and 3 should be good to go. unless you meant that you dont like MR. sweet stuff. but it's not like anyone expects anything less from you :) . bake turned out really nice. -
Re: lowpolyarts.com rips off 3d artwork
Amen Brother. If he was a student, I would feel very very different and totally agree with Per and the rest. But he's entered the realm of getting paid, and trying to stand shoulder to shoulder with guys who make their living making good legitimate art. In my mind this guy stands shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Runyon and… -
Re: self portrait
Really nice work! The shader-breakdown (and result) is really impressive, I must hand it to the MR developers, that´s one kickass shader. Too bad MR gives me the creeps Not sure I have any crits, it looks like it´s missing a tad definition (hard to say without photo-refs), but it might very well be how you look
