Re: Ambient Occlusion baking in Maya
Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant occlusions samples. In Transfer Maps window there should be a slider for "occlusion rays" I think it defaults to 16 which is quite low. I believe, because the rays are fired at random directions if the number of rays is too low then adjacent pixels can have sharp differences… -
Re: AMD buying ATI: confirmed
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] And the real ATI users know where to find the best drivers for PC gaming. [/ QUOTE ] Where, pray tell, is that? I think I must not be real. [/ QUOTE ] If they mean omegas, then they're just the same old drivers with forced 16-bit texturing and other artifacting features for little speed gain. While i'm… -

Re: The future of storytelling in video games.
leilei: How does one keep a game moving along without progressing a story? I'd go so far to say that story is the one thing that keeps me going back and replaying games in the same way that I'll re-read a good book or watch a film over and over. I've yet to consider looking at Gears after one playthrough, but I've played… -

Maya memory allocation
I'm trying to render an AO map using the Transfer Map tool in Maya 8.5. It looks like it works reasonably well at low resolutions as high as 512x512. However raising the ray tracing above 16 or scaling the map up produces a crash. It says it cant allocate 21mb's to do it. So how do I increase my Maya memory in 8.5? This… -
