Re: What is the potential of Python in Archviz - Looking for Ideas and Insights
I pay $20 subscribtion for chatGPT and it's quite capable to do whatever addon you may want for Blender . With current 4.5 chat version it even suggests ideas that wouldn't ever cross my mind . Almost everything Chat writes for Blender nowadays just works . Takes maybe 3-4 re-doing, error fixing. Tryed to make it write me… -

Maya / renderman / possibly user issues
Hi all, I'm definitely a newb taking on my first full scene project. I did a rough version of the scene to evaluate geometries and materials and things started to get weird as I added and changed meshes and shaders. Over time, renders started getting MUCH slower and MUCH grainier. Also, with simpler scenes, I can see PRman… -
solved - Please help I have spent days trying to figure this out
I'm new to 3d coat. This is so simple it's extremely frustrating!! Okay so this is my second day trying to figure this out and it is incredibly frustrating, I already tried posting about this but no one responded. I can't paint color in 3D coat, what do I do to get it to paint color?.. I've spent like 4-5 hours trying to… -
Re: Maleficent's Throne Room [WIP]
I really like the concept and the work so far. I tone down the saturation of the textures and overlay a orange hue. Having light rays cast towards the throne helps to give direction to the viewers. Also, I add a coupe of torches next to the archway to brighten ups those areas and give a rim light to the columns. Finally,… -
Re: Sketchbook: Wdcstudios
CIB - Thanks, I'm using Mental Ray as my renderer and I'm only using a sun and sky or day light system with GI and Final Gather turned on, I also have exposure control turned on. I also modeled everything to scale, I believe that helps out. The soft shadows are a combo of the GI and AO map in the material once I do a final… -
Re: Free Maya/max cgfx/fx Shader
I have a total n00b question since this is the first time I have ever heard of these rad shaders. So I've been messing around with my scene and replacing my old shaders with your Ubershaders as they are called...and when rendered in Maya's Mental ray (physical sun and sky) all my meshes with the Ubershaders dissapeared.… -
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: Lights as a particle
I don't know if this will work for max particles (I think it work for XSI particles) but here's a mentalray shader that might help... http://www.mymentalray.com/mymr_shaders/shaders.htm go to 'Ray Control' section and grab ctrl_objectlights, you're on your own to see if it works or not though. There is a small tutorial on… -
Re: GPU instability/bad performance during bakes in Toolbag/Painter after Windows Fall Creators Update
Please try updating your GPU drivers. If that doesn't help, upgrading your hardware may be the only option. The MX250 in particular is an underpowered GPU that was not intended for 3D content creation. It should support basic features in Toolbag but I would expect poor performance and instability with that GPU when working…
