Re: Projection painting in Maya
I just thought of a useful(?) addition to using this method. There's a samplerInfo node in the Hypershade which has a facingRation value. Connect this to a ramp node and you can effectively color an object depending on how much it is facing the camera. See where I'm getting at? Apply your method and combine it with a B&W… -
Re: How do you actually texture a high poly model?
For a hipoly you don't even need UVs. You can often just use a box projection it's done using the place3dtexture node in maya https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/Maya-LightingShading/files/GUID-1CC2519F-4800-41C2-8348-3751A6F41EA3-htm.html to get noise along the edges… -
Re: Applying image to mesh in Blend?
Blender, at the moment, requires you to set up a material and a texture. So click on the material tab, then add a material. Then the next tab over is the texture tab. Add a texture.

NormalMap/Tangent problem with Arnold Renderer for Maya 2017

Transform Matrix to Input Parameter
I would like to be able to link a Transform 2D to an Input Parameter so I can reuse the node throughout a graph. Looking through Google searches I've yet to find a way to easily do this (I've found a thread that has the rotation only). Since this seems like a pretty basic question I'm hoping someone can link me to a thread… -
