Well I have a very large collection of Mr. John Wallins stuff, Sparth, Feng and a lot others. I love the stuff Wallin's did for Gears. Some of Wallins work.
don't forget you can also save render presets and object presets in max, which vastly reduces the ballache of switching back and forth for normals in scanline / ao in MR.
I agree with NyneDown. I'll been called a lot worse in the past. A jerk could call you like Mr Awesome and it would sound horrible. It's probably 99% the person.
Mr Significant Thank you! I'm still experimenting with lights and colors. I tried to add more contrast, but probably now I need to make it a bit lighter in shadows.
are you using the correct camera to render from? in MR render settings you can set which camera to render from, and by default it uses the maya default "persp" camera.
I could say this was an attempt to take both styles into account, but really i just wanted an excuse to put Mr.Freeze into the cryo chamber. Mr. Freeze: Ice to see you!
earthquake. what I should have said was that max 8 has an extra option in the render to texture for rendering out Occlusion maps with MR, while max 7 does not.
just did a real quick and dirty render of a hand I have on file using that natural whatnot- and that's the awesome :) Truly an "I win" button for mr renders :P ~P~
Thanks. I'll try this out. I'm looking for a good light set-up for daylight since this is a model of a building that would be outdoors. Are the lights your suggesting the mr area spot?
You are sculpting on too high a subdivision for your detail there mr man. Go down a level or two and start defining some shapes. Looks like playdough right now.
