When you edit a material on an object and its linked to a Asset file it will change the asset file and have an effect on every other object using that material. If you want to create a unique instance in edit mode you can just copy the material asset and assign it to the renderer, or you can create an editor script that…
Define your target plattform. We are still stuck in the XBox360/PS3 world. Modern video cards are 10x more powerful than Xbox360/PS3, still all modern games target first the XBox/PS market, then the PC market. Addtionally we had a shift in rendering technology in the last decade. From forward rendering to deferred…
I don't have much first hand experience with pre-rendered work, but I've heard that rendering in Maya can be a nightmare compared to max. The key is that as 3D artists we must build our assets to the specifications of the tech that is using them. Although your assets may have spec maps, that doesn't mean that they're…
actually also unwrapped in and did the baking.. started texturing too! left with the head, hair and cape textures. The wip render here is from marmoset wanted to post the retopo wip first but i couldn't wait to start doing the baking and texturing; alot more interesting than the retopo process tbh
Hi there so I got this question and bare with me if the answer is so obvious. Just I like to make sure or see if there is something else I should keep in mind for the future. I'm full of questions and get better understand of the pipeline :) So I finish following this tutorial of this model that turned out well. Now I like…
Towards the end of the modeling process I started to think of my final illustration. The last few projects I've done, I've taken them straight from Zbrush to Keyshot to render passes, and finish up with a paintover in Photoshop. This process has been popular for a number of years now and can be quite liberating in…
XRef's can be a bit buggy. Pitfall 1) Sometimes they'll stop updating when you update the source model. So its normally best to wait until you're done with an asset before placing it. If you're in and out of the source file making edits, there's a good chance it will freak out. When it does freak out, you'll close the…
by render window, i think he is expecting there to be something like scanline render or mental ray, and to ansswere your question ArchieVision you cant, VW is purley meant for modeling no rendering, so to render a scene move it to a other package or use a standalone renderer
looks like an exposure problem. Are you using photometric lights? If so make sure to work in a proper scale. (set scale units to metric or inches) realistic lighting is based on realistic measures. That way you can really be sure of what you are doing. Also as a tip, create a matte arch and design material and put it in…
Thanks toilet_bear and Torch. Thanks Konstruct. I will try to get a nicer render done eventuall. I did attempt to do separate render passes, but my (way, way underpowered 5 year old) machine chokes. I figured I had two options: 1 - use low-res geo with displacement maps. 2 - render the high-poly straight using mental ray…
