Maya: Is there a way to batch or sequence render a World Normal pass as a regular image output?
Hello all, I am trying to achieve something like this in Maya Renderer or Arnold Renderer: I have a model and animation ready and I know how to do the regular batch render, but I was wondering if it was somehow possible to do a batch or sequence render of the World Normals?

Re: aplying z brush normal map?
If you've already got the normal map saved somewhere, you just need to plug the normal map into the material editor in max.

3d max scanline and normal maps
Hi, I've created a normal map from a heightmap using nvidia plugin in Photoshop. But now when I render it in the scanline render of Max it doesn't look good.

3D Coat - Normal Display Error?
I'm getting what I think is a display error but I'm not sure. I have the most up to date version of Coat and when the normals are turned on, there are a few places where this shows up. If I break off the effected geo it still stays, and if I triangulate the mesh, it stays but changes a little. I have the green on there to… -
