Re: Let's see some of your art from when you first started!
I just started learning 3D Modeling a little over two years ago, but for some reason it feels like it's been YEARS. These are my first pieces, all done within Maya and Rendered in Arnold because I didn't know anything about the game art work flow yet. I didn't know shit about how to texture or UV at the time and somehow… -
Re: You have 15 seconds to comply
I was thinking about this the other day. My 3 year old is starting to get into movies now. Mostly stuff like Brave and other cartoons. But he really wants to go see spider-man. Going to wait a bit on that one. But when I was a little bit older than my own son my parents let me watch pretty much anything. I was big into… -

Import/Export between Maya 2018 and Zbrush4R7
I am trying to import an .fbx file created in Maya 2018 into Zbrush4R7 but get an error code: -1. Can't find any information about this particular error code online. I tried exporting the same model as a Maya ascii, binary, and OBJ format, but Zbrush can't seem to find the files. I click IMPORT in the tool menu, navigate… -
Maya Xgen 2017 Clumping XUV file problem
Hi I was rendering some hair through Xgen and Arnold and everything was working fine until I think it was after I resized the plane that the roots were attached to, which seemed to have caused this error: // Error: XGen: Clumping guide ID larger than number in xuv file (pPlane2): 172(guide ID) 0(xuv file size)… -
Re: What made you feel crap today?
God you have given me a flash back, RAGE! People breaking a build on a Friday night and going home before you. Or not rendering out a pass for the flame opp which takes about 5-8 hours and I had to wait until its finished so the flame guy can get cracking with it in the morning. Wife waiting with friends in bar downstairs… -
Maya: AO to Vertex Colors?
How do you bake Ambient Occlusion to vertex colors in Maya nowadays? Mental Ray is no longer supported, developed or even shipped with Maya. Arnold lacks this functionality, and TURTLE is yet another thing in the long list of stuff that Autodesk acquired (to increase stock value) but then just abandoned. xNormal has this… -
Re: A better solution to 3DSMAX?
Sorry to rant, but I have been using 3ds max since R3 and I can say it's a complete dumpster fire these days. It's a patchwork of old legacy features that haven't been touched or modernized in years. The UI got bad ever since they added the ribbon. And it also crashes on me constantly(several times a day). Saying you're… -
Re: Cinematic / VFX Specific Workflow Question
you can do both using the dispmap from zbrush and combine them in the shader with the hand painted one from mari... or combine them in the sculpting app... higend stuff is done with three diffrent maps... sculpted dispmap + painted + noise renderman and redshift does have nodes to combine dispmaps...…
