Re: Your tool of choice for AO generation?
Have you tried baking Final Gather for that? even with 5-7 bounces its still faster than light tracer. It lacks the fine detail, but you can get that back with a cavity map. I did some tests on my current model, a 1k Light tracer/skylight bake with hammersley took me 5 minutes. 1k Mental Ray FG with 5 bounces, and a MR… -
Re: A sexy sniper rifle
I think the coating on the scope is a 'hammerite' style paint finish. Fantastic model and textures. -

Re: 3DSMax Render Speed - Scanline vs MR
Thanks for the info, nice to know that I won't need to bother messing with MR for bakes. I've been using scanline and hammersley since I started. I've been importing/exporting OBJ between apps, not using go-z. Everything has default materials applied to it, I even merged the 2 objects into a new scene and the problem… -
Re: EricV's work thread

I see references suggest the same result as you have determined, yet I feel this detracts from the rest of the nice detailling. On a side note, your renders look grainy, it's especially noticable on the vault door. Try upping samples using… -
