Re: Yiynova MSP19U: watch out Cintiq its comming for you

Re: New Nintendo Console?

Maya 2016 mentalray, can´t find final gather map
Hi I want Maya to save out a fg map for me to use for further frames. The autodesk knowledge network states: By default the file is saved into the current project's mentalRay\finalgMap directory. I have set the project, I render a fg pass, but when I take a peek into the folder there is no fg file to be seen. I have also…
