Re: problem with render to texture 3Ds max
Normally people don't do a complete render unless they want to burn in the scene lighting. A complete map is just like a full render, it includes all of the lighting in the scene, you might need adjust the lights to get it to show up. You could also have a shader that MR doesn't recognize and is rendering black because of… -
Re: What kind of hobbies do PCers have?
Running it's my favorite hobby. Currently I'm entering on various 10k, 10 miles and half marathons (21km). Next year I intent to start running actual marathons (42km). This is me on last Rio de Janeiro's half marathon. it was wonderful. My other hobbies are to watch movies with my girlfriend, and play old school arcade… -
Re: create lightmap atlases in Max
Try Flatiron: http://www.texturebaking.com/ It unwrappes you the lightmap UV-Set in a decent way an you can use your mentalray light setup to bake all the stuff. You also can set up a MR sun-system and render it to textures. There are lots of tutorials out there. Iwould use a script because I dont have time to bother a lot… -

Re: episodic content blasted by epic
Last time I checked, I really enjoyed episodic content, and considering the total price of the 3 episodes of hl2 will cost less than a full game (if you preorder), and I'm essentialy getting three good games that work together for what ultimately cheaper than one, I think Mr. Rein needs to dunk his head in a bucket of… -
Re: 1936 Bentley 3.5lt Tourer (WIP)
@ Mr. Bear: For Most of the rendering being done, I used Jeff Pattons setup in his Gnomon Vehicle Rendering tutorial. It's primarily photometric lights set to display as rectangles, which then reflect in the A&D Materials. No Final Gather or GI, though I composited and AO pass into the final result right here. Here is the… -
Re: 3Ds Max 4096 Normals seen as 1024
hah yeah I agree man, but some apps just don't have adequate enough sampling. If you're using max, then hammersley at 1.0 should be perfect, but other apps (or renderengines even, like MR) might not fare so well. I used FAOgen for some AO textures recently: there is no AA supersampling there, so the only way to get rid of… -
Re: Seattle Polycount Meetup #3!!!!
Seattle is just too crowded for me, simple as that. Going to the industry drink night was okay and all, but that's just not my thing anymore. Body can't tolerate drinking from 7pm to 7am anymore...probably why my stomach gave out. Hah. I like things relatively quite now. Loud music is fine but after 9pm I want quiet,… -
Re: god damn you! God damn you all to HELL!
1) You shouldn't have to "click" the arrow to reset after you crash. 2) I gave up after the 28th try. Because, A)I am at work and should be working and B) because for some reason when the car is facing down I suddenly become dyslexic. Hawken, you suck =P My hats off to you "Mr 10th time DING perfection!" -
Re: blue screen of death 0x0000007B boot error help?
Well, normally that would be a good point (referring to the links in Mr. T's post) but the simple fact that there IS a blue screen indicates that the HDD can be found, and is trying to boot from it. Just in case, check the jumpers, cables, and BIOS settings. Normally if you couldn't find a bootable device, it would tell…
