Hey Brad, don't know if this helps or not but here it is. Someone had asked me over PM for some help with Maya Hair, and I wrote this out. It's kinda brief, but I can add some images or expound on things if you need. I also mainly use fiber mesh. I render in Maya with Vray, so the trick really is getting my fibermesh stuff…
Second environment artist here, my job is to create the Research and development wing of the space station. I have tasked myself with creating multiple unique rooms within the area, with a satellite in the middle, that is being built. For the first couple of days, I wanted to lock down the centrepiece of the room - a…
@EarthQuake Thank you for putting an example together! I have some follow-up questions at the end of this reply, but they are nothing major. @pior Yeah a few features in Toolbag might just leave me wanting to always bake in it. ---- I don't want to turn this into a Toolbag vs Painter baking thread but since I am doing this…

Why dont you learn from a project as much as one really should? Just look at the time you spent on it. You started on the 7/24/09. Your first post is…
Well after checking out the specs on the Alienware Area-51m 7700 I'm hooked! I would love to get one so I started checking out ebay, but Im so damn skeptic of spending that kind of money on ebay, let alone those guys who wanna take the transaction outside of ebay.
