Hi everyone, I'd like to create a forest scene in Maya. However, before starting, I was wondering if someone could walk me through the workflow of creating a forest with the intention of using it in a high-poly industry (ie. commercials / film / television series).

However, the export process I'm following to create a LUT - only saves it out as a 3DL, CUBE, CSP or ICCp. I'm not even sure this is exporting properly anyway as whenever I apply…
You can crease hard edges & subdivide before dynameshing to preserve curved surfaces after dynameshing. The OpenSubdiv Loop-type subdivision in particular handles very tricky ngons that booleans create like a boss. Alternatively you can look into baking round edge shaders.
Hello, I am looking for some help. I just got given a project to create a new character which can be used in the game Street Fighter and I want some help on how I would go about making this.
