Re: Resources for learning Maya?

Re: Necro
[ QUOTE ] I'm not following with the green normal channel because I don't know what it's supposed to look like normally.

Re: thickness and position map baking in 3dmax? any solution??
Every 3d package can do it . Thickness is basically an ambient occlusion on a geometry with inverted normals doing ray casting in opposite direction. Position is an XYZ gradient in world/object coordinates(space) . I did it in Max couple decades ago with mental ray . AO shader and Gradient map set to word coordinates .… -
