Re: Lighting Solution to basement Scene
I'm currently rendering with Arnold in Maya. Unfortunately, I have to stay rendering with Arnold because I'm working in a group project with 3 other people. To save on time we have all decided to stay to 1 renderer so we can all have the same scenes. I miss mental ray so much. So do you have any specific suggestions on… -
Re: Is VR the death of 'billboard' particles?
Ah I wasn't really thinking about volumetric FX but more along the lines of for example rendering a firesprite on a sphere, but yeah actual real volumetric FX would have been awesome, especially when you're driving through the fire. I would imagine some day you'll use software like FumeFx but instead of rendering to… -
Re: Making 3DSMAX Movement behave like UE4?
This is often what I have to do at work, but considering the volume it's usually just hit render haha. I've done over 1000 renders at work but the longest I've ever gotten to spend on a full scene is 12 hours (averages 2 hours) start to finish. I realised that having 1000 mediocre renders is not as good as having 1… -
Re: Microscratches in PBR
Yes, that's what I meant with mip mapping. The mip mapping process blurs the scratchmap, and it looks more like molten ice with scratches now. You would need to adjust the mip bias in your GPU driver or try saving the texture without mips (if that would work in UE4) This is one of those things in realtime rendering that's… -
Re: [WIP] Lamborghini Aventador
@Optimus I put a Meshsmooth on most of the objects and placed an hdri in the environment while still using the daylight and messed around with the Mental Ray render settings and exposure with re-render after re-render until my eyes melted. I still need to play with the materials a bit, but I think definite improvements… -
Re: lowering reflection in marmoset?
It doesn't "fix" anything, it simply renders the normals exactly the same as the 3ds max scanline renderer, so you're not getting any extra smoothing errors from tangent spaces being unsynchronized. Chances are you're gonna get smoothing errors in-game if their normal map rendering isn't synchronized to the 3ds max… -
Re: Character Agent 48
You've got a great render here and the pose looks fine, the lighting does make it look like her foot is floating in front of the concrete rather than on a block of it, but most disappointing of all is that you put all this work into it only to show a back view shot of her, i'd really like to see a front perspective beauty… -
Re: Opinion on Game Animation Reel
Quality of the rendering does affect the perception of your animation. It's never "just the animation". The effect may be slight, but can be enough to push the decision one way or the other. As you only have about a minute to impress, anything that doesn't directly help is hurting. Maya VP2, UE4 and Unity all make very… -
Re: noob question - What is a Cube Map?
if i remember correctly you can render a cube map out from max by placing an object in your scene, making a reflect/refract material and rendering out a cube map (choose source: from file, pick obj and then render) cube maps can come in different variations, a strip 1x6 (dds), a cross, or six seperate images which you link… -
Re: The Honest Feedback Thread
Since the technical aspects have been covered already, I'll throw in something obvious : Which visual style are you going for ? I could see this image evolve into many different kinds of final products : a realistic, "Deux Ex" photo collage look ; a Capcom, animaton-like image, relying on rough pencil lines and colored…
