After some exchange with Autodesk team (with helps from Paul Kind) I can confirm Maya 2017 doesn't support grayscale roughness map, it needs a RGB map. Kinda weird as it works fine with a grayscale metallic map. Anyway, it's actually a bit easier to work in the RMA workflow (where you bake Roughness, Metallic and AO into…
one could write a script that stores the depth Buffer as greyscale images to either* the FrameBuffer (like in the screen of Modo) * clipboard using DotNet * to a specified or asked location on the disc of course one can catch the bounding box size of the Geometry and place an orthographic camera in front of it (centering…
Lol. I thought it would be a good idea to list the software I have at my disposal for commercial purposes (registered, legal, and non-education versions): 3D: ZBrush 4R5 Modo 601 SP5 Marmoset Toolbag Topogun 2.0 Project: Messiah 5 Unity 3D 3.5 Ultimate UnWrap 3D Pro Cararra 8 Blender 2D: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Adobe…
Yea most tools and pipelines are built around max or maya. Tons of custom plugins and toolsets, especially if the studio has their own in house engine. Ticking the box of programs you are familiar with can help with the HR filter, where they are not judging applicants on artistic ability, but more on a list of relevant…
Output is the final composited specular pass. just like what you usually get from a vanilla max specular element Raw and Level: using Specular as an example Raw Specular. the un modulated/masked specular data. if you have spec maps they are ignored in this pass. you simple get the unmasked full level specular for the whole…
I am using Maya 2014 Educational Version, which crashed when I accidentially hit "save" two times. I haven't been able to locate a single backup, even though Maya pretends to write a file to disk when crashing. I checked all available info - as usually Autodesk has no official info on it, so you have to google your way…
This is a very difficult question to answer. As Throttlekitty said, it depends on applications. Limiting FPS may cause errors. Depending on how the software was built it may or may not give you any optimization by limiting the FPS. If the software has built in "Limit FPS", I would feel more safe using that compared to a…
Thanks for responding. Let me clarify. This is NOT a beta test, I never self-assigned that label to the software. Early Access is different from beta testing. I understand that the label discourages you guys and maybe I should wait to post here until I transition out. All early access really means is that the DESKTOP…
Umm, you realize the old Win 7 version no longer works in 8? There is a different attack using the registry, but it then adds a delay to your clicks. So its really not a solution. The original poster has every right to start a petition. Using facebook though seems very unorganized. I would suggest using that facebook page…
many thanks. more digital paintingss a photostudy that i aborted (click the image to see the ref) some dude with antlers i painted on my smartphone. i used autodesk's sketchbook mobile, and it's pretty great. it got layers and layer-modes, a good selection of brushes, nice UI and the possibility to save your work as an…
