Re: Vertex Lighting?
I'm not sure what 3D app you're using? I use max and here is what I can give you in the short time I have. Quick and Dirty AO: Switch your render to Mental Ray, in the reflection map slot, pick "Ambient Occlusion", drop a sky light in your scene, and render your brains out. The key things you want to google/look up in the… -
Re: Post-apocalyptic cowgirl (WIP)
Yeah, alphamaps can be a bitch in Blender. If you're ever using the infernal renderer, you'll have to turn on TraShadows on the materials that are RECEIVING shadows from the alpha plane(or whatever you're having with transparency). There was some obscure reason for this in the rendering pipeline that had something to do… -
Re: AO in max using Mental Ray
You don't have to make your lowpoly non-renderable. Something simple that I do is before I'm about to render I go down on my lowpoly's modifier stack to Edit Poly, go into Element selection mode, select the entire mesh, and hide the faces. Then I go back up the stack to the projection cage. The lowpoly mesh should still be… -
Re: Syndicate Environment
I believe what he was referring to was most likely the chromatic aberration effect; it also seems to have some type of sharpen on it as well, although that might be a by product of the CA... I am interested in the render setup, because I too have noticed this on others renders but don't know if it's a render thing (like a… -
Re: Nvidia Tesla - anyone used it?
There are also render farms out there that you can rent out time/cpus. As for GPU based lightmappers, you might want to talk to copypastepixel, check out his post and blog. EDIT: Here's a few render farms: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ http://www.garagefarm.net/ http://renderfriend.com/ http://www.rebusfarm.com/ I have no… -
Re: mausoleum
Hello again- I just spent quite a bit of time rendering some more. I've decided that I'm going with ambient occlusion renders. I know there are multiple ways of presenting work, AO renders are the simplest and most effective for me presently. I also added some detail to the two rectangular columns near the entry way. I'm… -
Re: I fail at normal maps
which version? paul tosca: (http://www.paultosca.com/makingofvarga.html) "and want to render with mental ray renderer within maya than make sure to check that in the Render Settings dialog -> mental ray tab->Translation->Performance you have checked Maya Derivatives (like in the image below - note that this option is off… -
Re: Panzer IV's
I personaly would suggest baking some of the lighting into the texture. Get a good overhead light setup like a skylight and use max's render to texture option. of course you'd have to erase some of the shadows like the muzzle because it rotates. But just having some of the shadows in there will help the entire piece pop.… -
Re: Librarian stylised model [Wip]
Hey, it's me again with what's probably some of the last updates on this guy! Busy busy life means it was harder putting work into him and recording the process, so I had quite a few small work sessions I'll summarise here. For the first two sesh I corrected his pose a bit more and got to this result. Not very different… -
Apple mini M4pro vs laptop with rtx4080?
I am using 15" laptop but never laptop screen really . It's too small for working comfortably . Prefer Samsung 22'screens because with detachable leg they fit a suitcase and survive airports just fine when wrapped by a winter jacket. Takes 5 min to assemble in any hotel or bnb place. Laptop keyboards are super…
