Re: Rendering nice cubemap skyboxes
Wiki page has instructions for rendering cubemaps in Max. I just got V-Ray for a job this week, so no, I haven't. Also just started using mentalray. I've used the default scanline renderer in Max for cubemaps. Works fine for compositing layers together. I also learned you can't use the Reflect/Refract map (see wiki) with… -
Re: Baking in reflections?
I had to do this a while back on an environment, as the lads have said camera mapping is the only way to do it. The thing is that since reflections are view dependent it tends to look like crap when the view changes. its also very prone to streaking, multiple projections can work around this but its not great. I found… -
Re: My own ZBrush questions!

Re: Applying textures to large terrain made in World Machine, then rendering it?
Oh my bad, I thought you wanted to do realtime in the viewport. For easier rendering, you should look into Arnold, or even mentalray. But you'll have the easiest time actually using a game engine. Like Unreal. Some links to get you started. https://polycount.com/discussion/88933/how-to-make-terrains-for-games/p1… -
Re: Max 2010 Modeling tools - any early impressions?

Re: Pullman Car Hideout
@firecracker I tried to put dirt alpha there, but for some reason it absorbed all my photon from Mentalray's GI.. so I took it off, anyone know any way to make a geometry not absorb any photon at all? @Leviathan I can try turn the raytrace shadow filter even higher :) althought take half hour to render each shot already -
Re: Need help with render ;o
Eric: ye sry, forgot to mention it is Maya. Ghost: I've combined the mesh reassuringly and using the default lambert1 only. I checked yet again, though. If I render with MayaSoftware, it renders correctly, which pinpoints it to being the mentalray options being the thug. Almost as if the setting "Make annoying part of mesh… -
