Re: MODO baking random map?
An object space map is just a matter of adding a "Shading Normal" render output and checking ON the "Remap Pixels" box in it's properties. Then bake from one object to the other and it should work. I always use "Render -> Bake From Object To Render Outputs" in MODO. And I set up a morph map bake cage to use instead of… -
Re: xNormal AO Artifacts
512 seems reasonable and put anti-aliasing to 1x. also make sure to turn on jitter, it should take care of any stepping issues but it is more noisy (you wont see the noise that much in final texture) i usually render AO maps at double res of what ever i am working on and render with 1x AA then down scale. this basically… -
Re: How can I recreate the lighting in this image in 3d?
@somedoggy Thats exactly the logic I was following. Great to know I dont need to adjust for that. Here is an image of my orginal shader settings @Eric + SonicBlue - Thanks so much for your corrections. SonicBlue your render is amazing! I have tried a new render with your lighting but couldnt get as good a result. Not sure… -
Re: Baking problems - Lightingmap
This looks like a simple skylight setup with the scanline renderer to me. You need to enable the light tracer (under rendering->advanced lighting) to get ao from the skylight. When you want to render out ao with this method, you need to choose "complete map" for output in the RTT. Lighting map is used to store the whole… -
Re: Yet another Gamma thread
Yeah, 3ds viewport sucks with gamma on, and basically, 3ds max sucks with linear workflow. Do you need to render scenes ? If no, don't bother with gamma. If you need to render stuff, lwf is the way to go. Follow some guide on it. Texture colors shouldn't be washed out. That's because a gamma correction is applied twice on… -
Re: Babydoll from Suckerpunch
It's taken a while but I have finally finished my Babydoll character. After finishing the textures I rigged and posed the character and used marmoset for the renders. I still want to do a couple more poses and renders before calling this done, but am looking for any more pointers on the character before doing so. This is… -
Re: 3dsmax always grabing distance geometry when baking
This is hacky and may need some testing before you trust it but It seems to work just fine. Make an wedged clinder inside the object to occlude the other side. Add the cylinder to the list of render meshes. Switch your renderer to menatal ray and add an A&D material to the occluder. Switch back to Scanline and render. The… -
Re: Vertex Lighting?
I'm not sure what 3D app you're using? I use max and here is what I can give you in the short time I have. Quick and Dirty AO: Switch your render to Mental Ray, in the reflection map slot, pick "Ambient Occlusion", drop a sky light in your scene, and render your brains out. The key things you want to google/look up in the… -
Re: Post-apocalyptic cowgirl (WIP)
Yeah, alphamaps can be a bitch in Blender. If you're ever using the infernal renderer, you'll have to turn on TraShadows on the materials that are RECEIVING shadows from the alpha plane(or whatever you're having with transparency). There was some obscure reason for this in the rendering pipeline that had something to do… -
Re: AO in max using Mental Ray
You don't have to make your lowpoly non-renderable. Something simple that I do is before I'm about to render I go down on my lowpoly's modifier stack to Edit Poly, go into Element selection mode, select the entire mesh, and hide the faces. Then I go back up the stack to the projection cage. The lowpoly mesh should still be…
