Re: Sand crap over my 3dsmax AO bake
Used the settings above and got an even more beautiful render, mouth watering in fact :) The problem remains though, the sand is still there. It would take a lot of work to touch it out. I even isolated the torso and baked it separately as was suggested on 'my mentalray' forums. Still no joy. The rays are at max and it… -
Gerbera Daisies
Hey all, I've been working on a scene mimicking a photograph I took of a some Gerbera Daisies I took a few months ago at the Dallas Arboretum. I need to finish this guy up so I can get back to the game props, and I need me some feedback! Not a real-time asset. Using Max2012 with mentalRay, and its built in Depth of Field… -
3DS Max - rendering issue
I'm rendering some animation with mentalray and got some kind of weird lines on edges aka "motion blur". There is no effects applied, rather default settings - increasing quality doesn't affect this issue. Curiously, it doesn't happen on some friends' computers and it happens on the others' ones - the same file with the… -
[Maya 2009] Rendering + Melscript
Hello... I am having some problem to set an output directory for my rendering settings... I played with the "defaultRenderGlobals" node but nothing here... I also checked the documentation and nothing to set a directory in the "render" or "Mayatomr" commands... I just want to do a render from a camera and then to drop the… -
Re: VRender... error.
Hm, unfortunately that wasn't the issue... I completely stripped all of the materials from my scene and deleted everything. That seems to have solved it, although I have no idea which material was anything to do with VRay... I had a couple of Promaterials in there along with Autodesk, but I thought they were MentalRay ?… -
Re: Low Poly Barrel Critique - Work in Progress
Don't use mentalray renderer to showcase a game model. Use a game engine instead. Your barrel normal map is getting better, good job. Have you seen this barrel yet? Might gain some pointers from they way they did theirs. http://polycount.com/discussion/183292/viking-props-marmoset-toolbag-3 -
Re: Dark and pixelated texture in 3dsmax 2014
A Gamma seting of 2.2 is for when you are doing physically based offline rendering(Vray/Mentalray/etc) using a linear workflow, but a lot of people disable it for general work when not rendering. Strange though, as having it on should make things brighter, not darker. :) You painted this texture yourself? Did you create it… -
Re: Maya 2009 polycount wishlist
yeah that always pisses me off, because they're one step away from a nice feature. You can go to window->rendering editors->mentalray->approximation editor and turn on subdivision approximation for the selected objects, but that's extremely inconvenient :( My biggest overall requests would probably be 'edge constraints',… -
Re: Baking Maps from one uv to another reoganized uv
you can rebake the normal map using a normalbump texture type in the shader from your original object -> new object with correct uvs and it should reinterpret the normal map properly if you're using 3ds max. I haven't tried it in maya, but i imagine as long as you're using mentalray it should work fine? can anyone confirm? -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2015!!!
