Don't feed the plant (large images)
hehe hi again folks I finish this little model the past week to kill a bit the boredom. This was like a little test to try the displacement maps on modo. Mudbox ended generating too many errors (artifacts) when rendering the displacement map, this was a pain to fix in photoshop. Again, modelled and rendered exclusively in… -
Re: suggestions for good grass planes?
That's what I've done in the past and it works pretty well. I guess you could try using Render to Texture but something tells me that'll be messy? Never really tried it that way before. It will probably pay off to render with some simple lights or close to 70% self illum, default viewport lighting will probably look wonky.… -
Re: Is it possible to get an Archviz critique here?
Hi Dasha, I hope you had a good weekend. Yes there is nothing wrong about experimenting. In fact, taking older projects and testing out new ways to light, render and animate them is great research and dev. That's usually what I do. Sometimes trying to isolate one aspect of study is the best way to evaluate it, especially… -
Re: 32bit depth pass maya 2010?
If by 32 bit you mean 24 bit color with 8 bit alpha/transparency, then I have something working. Also, if you're wondering about a file format, .tif works fine. Its lossless and supports alpha channel transparency. Here is how you will have to set up your render layer for a depth pass with transparency though: Step 1 -… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Let's avoid talking any more about murderers here, and while we're at it let's not disparage genders either OK? It's really not cool. -

Re: Raytracing - Compatibility with older hardware, possible quality drops, and other related Info
Got in contact with Marmoset and Mark Doeden replied. Posting his answers here for anyone else interested in these points. 1 - Correct, Toolbag 4's new ray traced renderer is a full path traced rendering engine. Alternately, we still support raster rendering mode too (it's the fallback with RT disabled) which offers some… -
Re: PBR VS Photorealistic Images
Yes, you can use PBR to make photo-real materials. Most modern archviz renderers use physically based rendering. I use V-Ray at work. It uses a slightly different paradigm than typical game PBR, Chaos Group have added specific surfacing and rendering optimizations that go beyond straight PBR. We add shading effects like… -
Re: Lightmap/AO 3dsmax second uv question
Yep it will work fine in 3dsmax9 as far as the baking goes, its only the composite material that might not work. Oh and I guess the viewport shader =/ There are a few ways to render out AO. Mental Ray AO: If you set your render engine (Render Setup > Assign Renderer) to Mental Ray. In the Render to texture dialog (0) it… -
