Re: Normal map and AO bakins settings in 3ds max 2012
Mental ray isnt a good renderer for rendering Normal maps. XNormal or Max Scanline are far better solutions. Both are a great deal faster and give cleaner less aliased results. Im sure you could get nice results with MR if you tweaked the shit out of it but to be frank there are eaiser ways. A good strategy is to use MR or… -
Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
Those were some of the best classes there. I remember the long nights working on keyframes and inbetweens :) I don't really remember the names of most teachers - There was Mr Om, the Indian life drawing teacher and Mr Carnegie, won't forget him. Always working with super sculpey or sharing his life long experience about… -

Re: Mental Ray for Normal Maps?
+1 to Glynn with exception to the AO maps. MR does very nice AO. it may take a little longer but you get much finer control over the final map. With MR's ambient occlusion you can set a maximum distance value which essentially lets you control the distance at which a ray hit wont cause occlusion. this is great when using… -
Re: Tropic Thunder Boycott: It's no longer PC to make fun of stupid people...
I've worked with people who were mentally retarded and also had mental health issues. I think the movie could just as easily be satirizing Hollywood's take on people with mh/mr. Why are movies about people with mh/mr always depicting them as these sweet, generous, kind, misunderstood, loving beings instead of giving people… -

Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | July 2014 | Multiple Pieces
@independns hans Pretty much what Mr Moose said. You need to work a lot more on the lower subdiv, get a nice figure first. @Greenroad Again, seconded what Mr. Moose said. It's a nice start though. Like the helmet design. @Pyrzern Oh, sweeeeet. But are you going to post non animated presentation? My shitty internet took too… -
3DS Max: Mental Ray - Environment Map Scaling Issues
I'm using a spherical HDRI image as the background to my scene. It works fine, either I put the HDRI directly in the Rendering > Environment > Environment Map, or I can put the HDRI into the MR Physical Sky and put the MR Physical Sky into the Rendering > Environment > Environment Map slot. I can rotate the map, using the… -
Re: Laser Guided Smart Bullets
Hmm the one fundamental issue i see with this...which im sure they have genius solution for is that you have yourself at one end and Mr Taliban at the other end of the Road...you poke your head out looking down your scope,you pick your target then you judge and do the nessary 2-3meter input for the bullet to hit/explode…
