Re: Material Rendering tutorial
X-Convict, Duxun: Thanks! :) Well I don't want to high jack this thread or anything but Patient09 PM'd me asking about the settings I used in particular, and I figured I would just post it here so people can look it up if they have similar questions. Patient09: If you tell me exactly how you set up your scene and gave me a… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
Thanks guys, glad I could add to this already awesome tutorial. I actually made a few mistakes with that sight on the gun and as a result have to re-render the fixed version. So... Vig: I'll try that z-depth trick you mentioned. The results look really cool. I have a pretty fast computer (quad core, 2 8800gt's, 8gigs ram)… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
Cool stuff Brad, nice write up, nice results too. How long did it take to render at those settings? What about playing around with a Z Depth Pass also, super quick to render, can be used for a few different things. Go to render settings > render elements and add a ZDepth element. Render the scene it will spit out a… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
i quickly tried it out. Im not versed in rendering so at first my skylight "render" options panel was grey'd out, I was unable to follow the tutorial further until I figured out I had to be in Scanline not Mental ray... Your tutorial reads well and I was able to set everything up until that... maybe i missed the part where… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
Havok, John, Racer, Tumerboy: Really good work guys! Thanks for posting, I'm really happy to see the material help bring out your hard work! :) Vig: Yep, good idea! There's plenty of tweaks you can do to this process to help push the end result. Like I said this is a basic setup of the material and rendering steps so take… -
Material Rendering tutorial
Not quite sure where to post this, figured it fits under pimping/previews better than anywhere else. So due to the number of people interested in my rendering setup for my High Poly models I decided to just sit down and make a tutorial for it. I don't have much time so forgive me if there's not a pic for every step. Hope… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
Thanks for the positive feedback guys! -Changed the background color to be lighter, hopefully this will be easier on everyone's eyes! -Updated to include using the default scanline renderer Junkie_XL: Thanks! The spotlight is coming from above and to the right of the model, to the right and above the camera as well.… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
Here is something else one can do on top. -Grab the 3DSMax 'normalmap maker' shader from Ben Cloward's folio (or setup a scene with the RGB normalmap lights) -Apply to the highpoly model -Make a animation>preview of this (renders the viewport to a file) at full res -Take that "normalmap" in crazybump or xnormal, convert it… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
Very interesting, thanks! I took a few test renders using ray traced shadows on the mustang but as you said, render times were around 3 minutes versus 20~30 seconds using shadow map. I just couldn't find the settings to increase the map size, glad you pointed that out for me. Edit: Also, I meant to comment this before but… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
Ya, to really see it I had to re-render it again with area (it was a different angle, and the model had been updated since that first render) Anyway, here's the difference:
