Re: [3DS Max & Arnold] How do I render with Ambient Occlusion?
Scanline still works for baking AO, and it's fairly fast. Though Autodesk has talked about removing Scanline. Make a Skylight, and enable shadows. Render To Texture, Shadow Map element. You can increase quality with the sampling in the Skylight, IIRC. -
Re: [3dsmax] EdgeSmooth - Free, open source smoothing plugin
Wow, I've not noticed it in new features. Using 2014 yet. Thanks for the tip! Now I understand why there is no support any more, I believe autodesk bought that script like outliner but why it took a several versions to implement it in :poly121: -
Re: Technical Q&A
Hehe that is indeed very funny!!!! Pray tell have you got a link to that download? Im searching the Autodesk site here and whatever documentation for max 8 they have is split up into over a dozen parts...which is the one you downloaded? -
Re: Maya xGen Copy-Paste Bug
I also tried posting over in Autodesk's forum... sounds like someone else is able to replicate the problem, too: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-dynamics/xgen-copy-paste-bug/m-p/7334275/highlight/false#M5667 -
Re: Mudbox 2014 "Unknown Error"
Just tried deleting my preferences. It prompted me to pick my controls/language again, but once it got past that, same issue. I came across that autodesk link earlier and it was no help. The hardware acceleration option is greyed out for me. -
Re: Thread of Awesomeness, Hilariousness, Off-topic, Youtube
Well, after a little research I believe it is/was a middleware lighting solution for games... though also a plugin for Maya obviously from that video. It was made by a company called 'Illuminate Labs' which rather predictably was bought out by Autodesk earlier this year. -

Re: Is this an OK thing to do? (Modular Textures & UVs outside grid)
Yeah, sure.. I'm just recovering from the terrible annoyance of cutting geometry into walls (etc) for tiling within an atlas for a mobile project.. and with Autodesk insisting on keeping UV mapping bound to a modifier, it'll stay that way for a while I'm sure ;) -
Re: Softimage vs Leading Applications
There's a lot more training material for XSI now than there was a few years ago. I can list some tutorials if your interested? I'm really surprised more people and studios aren't using it. But then with Autodesks awful marketing for it, it's hardly surprising.
