Strange normal maps with Mental Ray
Hopefully someone can help me with an issue that's been bugging me for a while now. When using Mental Ray to render out my games models, I've noticed that normal maps which had displayed exactly as I wanted them in the Maya viewport will be different, often dramatically so - harshly warped and not as expected. I'm having… -
PC-CSGO | PP-Bizon - Freeze Ray (WIP)
Hi everyone! So my contribution for the competition is a take on a very classic sci-fi weapon. The ever so brilliant Freeze Ray! I realized that the Bizon's magazine could function as the cylindrical glass container of a freeze ray, rather than an actual magazine. This is what I've got so far I have only worked on the mag… -

Re: Maya, Mental ray : baking shadow map issue
hmm, you shadows look like you do use ray trace shadows, with only one shadow ray... so you are using shadowmapped lights? The filter size adjusts the softness. There is btw no reason to not bake ray trace shadows, they won't take much longer and the results are better... -

Re: Mental ray settings 3dsmax render to texture
Yep, when it comes to RTT, mental ray is a giant pile of crap that is only good for AO. They've removed Mental Ray from newer releases and are switching to Arnold, personally I prefer VRay or if the company doesn't want to foot the bill for VRay, I'll use xNormal. But I stay the hell away from mental ray. Not only does it… -
3ds Max Render to Texture - Mental Ray Projection Mapping
Is there a way to projection map using Mental Ray without getting errors? I want to bake Ambient Occlusion from my high-poly to my low-poly. The scanline renderer can do it but I'd like to use Mental Ray. The error seems to occurs where the high and low-poly objects are Z-fighting. Here's an example: -

Rending Near Clipping Panes in Maya 2013 with Mental Ray Raytracing
For some reason this is not working for me? I can adjust the near clipping plane fine in the viewport but it won't show up in the render. As far as my research got this can work in Scanline. Does anyone know if there is a way to get this to work with Ray Tracing and Mental Ray in Maya 2013? Thanks. -
maya mental ray vs Turtle (ambient occlusion)
Hi there up until now ive only really used mental ray for rendering and baking, and baking ambient occlusion has especially taken quite a long time (although results have been good). Somebody recently told me that I should try Turtle as its a lot quicker. Ive had a quick look but I cant seem to get ambient occlusion…
