Re: UE3 Medieval scene workthread
paroxum, it's the 2nd method, except I used textures for the mixing of the terrain layers. I used MentalRay's terrain blend shader to give me some falloffs of shear edges and high areas, I painted some of it in ZB with 3d painting. The large rocks that aren't the mountain use upZ in the world to place grass, and I can add… -
Re: Baking AO, what options do i have?
So that image is from Xnormal or MentalRay AO? If its MR/AO it seems pretty huge. Have you tried rendering a smaller size like 128x128 with smaller samples like 8 or 16. It sounds like your settings are probably cranked and its not hanging but just taking longer than you're willing to wait to solve an area. What are the… -
Re: Bugatti Veyron WIP, 1st Model
Hey! thats great... i've been modeling a bugatti veyron car too... but yours is smoother. but i think you should use a skylight in mentalray option. the rendering will be better with a realism touch. (sorry by my english - i'm from el salvador) here's one of my renderings:… -
Re: 3dsMax Normal Projection Trick?
just set the max distance in the mentalray AO shader. its set to 0 by default which means occlusion rays will be cast an infinite distance. if you set it to a value lower than the distance between your floaters and the surface the problem is fixed. This way you get to keep the falloff and Spread settings. giving you nice… -
Spino~~~~
hi.guys. I am a student studyind game art. I made a spinosaurs. It is first my creature. I used max for basic mesh. then back and forth to zbrush couple of times. I rendered using mentalray. I wanna hear your workflow and some render skill. and how do you make a background template as I did in jurassic park background.… -
Re: Sketchbook: GoodAsNew
Here's some suspicious looking random creature i made today just to test some SSS shader with all kinds of maps. Rendered with mentalray. I used mesh with around 45k polys for the render + normal map. I couldnt bother remeshing to get lighter base mesh. -
3D architectural walkthrough
Hi everyone we just would like to share our short architectural video please feel free to comment or maybe some advice how we could improve it more, thanks:) by the way we use Maya and Mentalray for this one but unfortunately when I turn on FG it crashes. https://youtu.be/GvSbjrJFvHY -
Re: [SOLVED] How does one fake lighting hair strands on a surface?
2013 is pretty old. Why are you using that version? Mentalray Arch & Design material might be the best one to use, not sure. But it has anisotropy and fresnel. http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-6F13FC90-80A4-4092-BB5F-662546685C2B.htm,topicNumber=d30e375010 -
Re: Direct x 11 Tesellation and parallax map question
Id say so too, otherwise we'd be seeing Displacement all over the shop. Specter: max supports rendering those maps in mentalray with a plugin written by wayne robson. It was called Psycho Core, Wayne stopped distributing it becuase of the amount of support requests people were sending him (it was free). -
Re: RTTassist - 3dsmax toolset for RTT automation.
I have experienced this problem with all 3dsMax versions from 3dsMax 9 to 2012. And I believe it happens rather randomly. I've been able to bake mentalray AO maps just fine, but other times the lowpoly mesh is not ignored. I had no idea there was a workaround for this, though! That's good to know :)
