Re: Sketchbook: Crack Panda
New render. I wanted to render this character out again as I didn't quite do him justice the first time around as I didn't know as much about rendering using ZBrush. His name is General Takori. I pictured him being a general of a powerful star fleet. He is out of uniform here though! -
Re: General Modelling Confusion - Dirty looking Modeling
*Post Wires! its impossible to give good advice without seeing them. *What's the model for: Render, or Ingame. *Are you planning on baking a normal map or is this going to be the final model? Rendering this will produce a pretty much identical result. Sure put a normal map on it and it could look cool but as it is the… -
Re: Marmoset Viewer IS OUT!
The normals in the viewer are being displayed in worldspace, a slightly more accurate description would be to say that what's being rendered are the actual surface normals. During the rendering process, tangent space normals are converted into worldspace, we're just rendering the final output. One of the main benefits to… -
Re: Sketchbook: NGS616
I am having trouble rendering normals. I shouldn't be rendering it anyway since its made to be going into a game engine. Heres how the bench looks in UE3 which is what i had in mind while making the normals: I don't know why they look the way they do in the render... I know part of it is because of the lighting though. -
Re: Tips & tricks for working with large scenes
The problem is that *every* app calculates tangents just a little bit differently, but atleast maya and xnormal can display normals rendered in the respective programs correctly(or "mostly correct"). I'm pretty sure that max renders specifically for offline rendering, and uses a different method for realtime display,… -
Re: UV scramble
A little closer, I deleted everything in the render output except "final color" and used top menu's Render>Bake from Object to Render Outputs now the UV fields have edges, but still aren't rotated. Does anyone know how to get the rotated UVs on the model to bake into the UV texture map? Thanks again for the help! -
Re: 3dsMax using ambient occlusion to determine how a surface recieves light.
Good idea, however it didn't work :( . The idea is to cause the fall off map to read the dark areas of the ambient occlusion maps as area's that light will not hit and then render the shadow and light map accordingly. If that doesn't work out, is there any way to change the ramp of the ambient occlusion render to make it… -
Re: Texture Files : Maya VS Photoshop... the WAR!!!!
I also had this problem recently. I do not know why it does it, but I found it would give the error if I tried to render a file format which was not supported by mental ray. The renderer would switch itself to maya software once it failed to render the .psd fail and from that point on, I am unable to save the file. -
Re: baking complete map
A friend is telling me that 3DS MAX 2008 features a working render-to-texture tool, so you can render a complete map with Mental Ray. Does anyone know if this is true? It looks like rendering a complete map with scanline works pretty well, except that its scanline and looks like junk I guess thats what photoshop is for. -
Re: the *ART JAM* - please join in :)
Here's a sculpt of 2 members from "The Crew" need critiques on the render as i want to render them out nicely. These were done a while ago but i didnt like the render. And here's the one i did last night still a very rough blockout though hers the concept…
