Re: GPU-Based Renderers
Gheromo, it looks like the link you sent me are for the company that makes Arnold, which I've heard great things about also. I wish they would make it for Max but since I plan on learning Maya anyway, it's worth it to have a look, thanks. JohnnyRaptor, yeah it looks like Arnold is the plugin made by Solid Angle which seems… -
Predicting Ptex paint on subd mesh?
So.. I got a mesh, lets say level 0 is 2900 tris, I want to render it at level 3. I'm using Arnold, if it matters. Is there a way to predict how the Ptex will be laid out on the target level in a program like Mari or Mudbox? I've tried bringing level 0 into Mudbox, subdivide it 3 times, paint the Ptex, export, and then… -
Re: thickness and position map baking in 3dmax? any solution??
Every 3d package can do it . Thickness is basically an ambient occlusion on a geometry with inverted normals doing ray casting in opposite direction. Position is an XYZ gradient in world/object coordinates(space) . I did it in Max couple decades ago with mental ray . AO shader and Gradient map set to word coordinates .… -
Re: Petition to keep perpetual licensing at Autodesk
Except Arnold that you only have 1 license for. If you want to render on more than just your machine, you have to pony up for the extra licenses. I really wish AD would release Max as an a-la cart sort of deal. You get the base Max tool set for a smaller cost and then you can add on extra items as needed like character… -
Maya skinn shader tutorial recomendation?
I was looking at this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss13J1emsvw If you scroll to time frame 05:40 you will see he is creating a node named as AiSwitch I do not have that.

Genius Kids' Garage(img heavy)
Hey there, fellow polybros(and sises)! =) Here's a little something I've been working on lately. It's an environment roughly based on an amazing picture by Arnold Tsang that I absolutely adore. I would like to thank Arnold once again btw for making great art and for letting me use it. I didn't just replicate the thing in… -
Re: What are you working on 3D? 2021
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYax3jQ6_G8 Renders in my Polycount Topic This is my grooming project for Benjamin Deutscher - which I did in Maya with help of the Ornatrix and rendered in Arnold 6.2 with GPU mode on 2x2080Ti(NVLink) in 2020. The project is still in development and this is just a teaser of full-fledged… -
Re: Anatomy Practice - Seeking Crits!
Ass and core are too small for somebody with that much muscularity everywhere else. The Gluteus Maximus is the largest muscle in the body, and it does the most work (think about what it's doing while you're walking) The leg muscles can't get that powerful without core support… -
Re: [WIP] Sekiro Fan art - Prop / Environment - Rendered 3ds Max, Corona
I spent some more time learning composition and tweaked my shot a little more, I also switched over to Arnold for now, the way I've set up my materials is using the substance plugins so I can switch back to corona easily if Arnold isn't giving me the results I'm looking for. Right now though I like the bounce light I'm… -
Re: When 3D painting, are automatic UV unwraps acceptable?
they told me its easier to use the existing uv based tech and bake to ptex during export... they create uvs for each face and many udims in the background... in the end you get a ptex file... but with really high resolution a ptex file gets huge... its also not supported by all graphic card driver to work with real ptex...…
