Re: Rendering teaser trailers, cinematics etc
Yup blur use mentalray, I think Tigar Hare use Vray, some use PRman. personally id stick with MR as its built into all the major apps. (all of them are great tho) If your raytracing DOF and motion blur pretty much act as a multiplier for your render times so if you can, I'd research doing these in post. That said Mental… -
Re: Something people don't know about you
- I have worked for the Pentagon, The Missile Defense Agency, and Air Force Communications Protection Agency. I have a Top Secret Clearance. I now answer phones for a pharmacutical company because I moved. - I dated a model from suicidegirls.com for a short time. - I can not remember much except fragments from the age of… -

Re: Artists personalities...Hughs is cool, he typical?
This is getting fucking ridiculous. Cmon NoSe, I would assume you of all people would want to keep this thread on topic. This was between Scott and me, and dealt with a global assumption about medications that I found offensive. I was only using those as examples. [ QUOTE ] People don't wanna hear your bitching and moaning… -
Re: custom maxscript panel for modeling, management and exp/import models
Three code-related things: First, avoid try/catch so much... you should handle unhandled cases better (such as no object selected, etc.), using an if/then, and print or messageBox the error. Second, and this is pretty minor- if you're not using the functions outside of the rollout, put them inside of the rollout. This will… -
Re: Squish - 3rd Person Shooter
Adjusted height of second floor, as recommended by BradleyWascher, as well as re-modeled most of the plants to have more defined shape, suggested by HughieDM. Also added a new wall texture to keep it from getting too repetitive in parts, and I think it added a nice touch of color. Speaking of color, made a number of tonal… -
Re: Program to use when displaying environment props for portfolio
Marmoset Toolbag contains excellent functionality for quickly producing renders of 3D props, characters, and small scenes/dioramas. It is my go-to for both prototyping and high quality render output. When it comes to 3D environments, in my experience it is always better to use a game engine like UE4. Toolbag lacks in asset… -
Re: Forum Suggestion - Sticky Threads
Change the green text to blue? There is already an icon next to it, and the word sticky, as well ease of access, I don't want to go chasing for stickies unless I really have to. Some sites give you the option to essentially 'pin' upto 10 favorite threads at the top first page for the threads. I know sites like the Escapist… -
Re: Freelance Jobs - Guidelines
Moderator note: If you want to debate a job thread, this section of the forum is not the right place for it. This may seem counter-intuitive, as this is a forum after all. However this section is for employers to post jobs. Polycount does not pass value judgements on job posters nor on job seekers. This is not our role,… -
Re: Maya Scripting: Storing Rigging Information in Notes
I recommend storing it in a custom attribute. Notes may be used for other things, so you generally don't have to worry about anybody touching your attribute. If you're writing the attributes in Python (I highly recommend doing this), then you can use a format such as json to store your data in the attributes. Example: # Do…
