Ask A Fellow Polycounter - "Maya Mental Ray Issue"
This one I really need help with... I've finished my new portfolio scene with shader maps assigned to and all but when I booted up to do final renders today, Mental Ray suddenly could not render.

Re: Female Character critique please
I don't know why people keep on saying Tattoo's fade out later, it's not a hard rule at all and very dependent on both skin and artstyle you wanted in the first place from the tattoo artist.

Re: El_Coffo's game environment
First of all, the quality of your uploaded image is very bad. I am unable to make out some colors. At the stairs for example: I see vague redish and greenish spot and I cannot tell whether that is just because of the quality of the image or your texturing. As said, there is a varying scale in your bricks. I don't know what…
