Probably too late but if someone is asking the same thing... i fixed my issue this way In your substance, add a 'gradient' node juste before your baseColor output. Your baseColor output will be set to color mode and not grayscale.
Looks good matey, have you shared the ShaderFX file anywhere? I tried to recreate your graph from the picture but none of the available nodes in ShaderFX give me the texcoord with the RG outputs you have on the left? Ta!
This one I really need help with... I've finished my new portfolio scene with shader maps assigned to and all but when I booted up to do final renders today, Mental Ray suddenly could not render. The script editor said it's out of memory, I tried restarting and optimize scene size but nothing is helping it. This is what my…
Nómada / Nomad - 12/2022 My profile pic, l would call this my first "get serious" artwork. I've wanted to make some music and also learn how to draw. So I've learned a DAW and studied various Marc Brunet's videos and made the cover. I wasn't so happy of how the "realistic" shading looked, so I colored it in a way I liked…
Nice that you shared the model @Archopus. Just on the one specific issue you documented in that gif - it looks like the UVs of mirrored parts are not offset by one. With two points in 3D space baking to the same pixel in 2D space, I would expect this result. Great to have your notes on this pior! I'll surely have more…
you could do this: string $suffix = match("[0-9]+", `match "[[0-9]+]" $node`); or could use tokenize instead if you dont want to mess around with regex. The top code basically matched the [###] and then matches again for just numbers.
I have no problems making the source pixels. It's saving them in a format I can use. The photoshop DDS plugin is windows only I can make dds square files, but it seems Maya's LT reflection cube map node in shaderFX wants a cubemap DDS in a very specific format, and I need to find a way to author that using OSX tools if at…
Here's the basics of how it works. You can attach the Projection node either by searching and adding it to the work area and CTRL+MMB dragging to connect it to your lambert material node, or by selecting projection instead of "file" when you'd normally choose what to fill the color attribute with. Then you add your texture…
So there's a few things you'll want to do to make sure your scene is set to take full advantage of you PPC. By default the World setting usually want to maintain as much control as they can, which defeats the purpose of having a PPC in the first place (except in certain situations). First, in your World settings make sure…
In my experience you are somewhat out of luck with what you want from maya, at least with default materials and the basic renderer. High quality usually just fails like that on consumer ATI cards, and only sorta works on Nvidia consumer cards. Realtime shadowing... I don't think I've ever gotten that working in maya. And…
