Re: [Portfolio] - Benjamin Hall
If you're aiming for game development, it's better to present your models in real-time. It's a HUGE plus because people can see that you can integrate your stuff in a game engine and also, you won't be able to make rendering with mental ray or V-ray during the production. Here's some suggestions : - Marmoset Toolbag -… -
Re: TGI Friday's (environment)
I reduced all the 512 textures to 256 and as you guys already knew there is no difference especially with the sharpen more filter. I did a render but I'm not sure about what's appropriate. I used a mental ray area omni with adv ray traced shadows. Here's the reference image I improved the lower windows aswell. and… -
Re: THRONE ROOM The Almighty Throne Zurdge
--- A very rough block out of the shape and form of my scene, I setup 200cm cubes which is about the height of a door frame to help me judge scale. Ive just wiped my PC clean for this project and currently reinstalling my software, I would of used V-Ray for the renders because Im more familiar with it however Mental ray… -
Re: Game Modeling Asset Questions
It's pretty simple. When a ray is cast from the low poly it's looking for the nearest surface of the highpoly to compare normals with, whether that's inside or outside the lowpoly mesh. There's usually options to tweak this behaviour if you want the ray to grab info from the last surface it hits, for example. Generally the… -
Re: Switching from Max to Maya =[

Re: Chinese grave
A few things could be going wrong depending on what type of shader you're using and what you're rendering in. From my experience, Mental Ray just doesn't play well with alpha maps on Maya shaders. Try using the "Mia _Material _X" Mental Ray material and plugging in your alpha map to the "Cutout Opacity" under the Advanced… -
Re: max normal mapping problem
What do you mean by "not the mesh"? When in Projection sub-object Vertex mode, and you select some vertices, they turn red and so do the edges connected to them. Moving them moves the blue cage mesh. This in turn affects the angle that the baker's rays travel. The rays travel from each blue cage vertex toward its… -
Re: NBA Playoffs 2010
Well Celtics don't really have that many 3 point shooters, especially since they traded Eddie House. They have Ray Allen and Rasheed Wallace, but Ray has been really inconsistent in the play offs. But from memory, Orlando definitely have some solid perimeter shooters. And Dwight Howard... I really don't like that guy. So… -
