The one and only Maya and Mental Ray Archviz Guide

2011-06-16T06:50:00.001-07:00

This is a good day for Maya User.
Release finally of the Maya and Mental Ray Archviz Guide by Alex Sandry(withego)
http://www.samui3d.com/3D/index.html

I'm really disappointed on the fact that Gnomon Workshop not release this Guide. They have there reason, busy and much more but the fact is that Alex Sandry spend more time for writing research and a little time of your life for this Guide, i think Amazing Guide ever.
This is the final release thread on CGTalk

This some work inspired from B&B Italia Furnitures.
Not commercial work, only personal study.

The models are downloaded from B&B Italia and modelled from NespoliStudio

Little variation on the Models for my personal workflow and look at this.

Hi all.
Some test start more times ago. I think now i'm in the good way. It's diffuclt for me, because i'm not a mel writer but with nParticles the appears is good, i think.
This is a start image with 1200000 Particles. Rendering with mental ray as clouds.

This is an upgrade of my test. As possible i'm post the entire scene setting.

DirtMap in 3dsmax?

2010-01-14T03:19:00.000-08:00

Yes, the same workflow obtain in 3dsmax. I hope have a time to create another video on 3dsmax procedure. Notice, BinaryAlchemy release for 3dsmax, is for Mental ray 3.7.

Combine Physical Sky&Sun with textures clouds image

2010-01-10T03:38:00.000-08:00

Yes.
In my workflow with maya, the big problem is use the real textures, like a clouds sky with Phisical sky or daylight like 3dsmax.
In 3dsmax you must use the environment textures, like spherical orany you want and render the images illuminated the scene with the environment.
In maya, use the haze of the sky and ins a textures in the haze, blka bla bla............. ok ok much complicated? not much complicated, but strange effects we have with this workflow. The big probelm is, where is the clouds in my scene? I don't see never, without render it.
Solution: :) :) :)
Ever, i'm see the entire .mi declaration for see, how the shader are declare; if textures, shader, light, environment............................ yes, the sky is textures, shader andyeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............ and the winner is................................ ahuahauhauah
I'm create a semisphere in to my scene, map the texture of your cloud, in the sphere, see it in your viewport, check key 6, ok. after this, go in shading group node mental ray custom shader and ins on material and environment and shadow a Mib_color_mix node. Mix your sky and your textures, and get down the clouds parameters, joke tweaking little, the parameters, to see your sky in rendering and the final, is this image.
I remember then if you see your clouds, push the 6 key you see your textures clouds, but with mixing the two textures, clouds and sky, in render you have the sky&sun and clouds textures. and the effects is(i think) great.

Dirt map In Maya & Mental ray

2010-01-09T05:08:00.000-08:00

Is possible tu use, inverse ao, usign the binary Alchemy shaders like the Raylenght. I'm use in combine with blend color utility node and in setting of raylenght i'm set "Ray lenght inverted (normal edge)".
See the images

Please send me question if you have problem with connection or raylenght settings.

Maya and mia_material_Plausible Ocean TIps

2009-11-28T06:09:00.000-08:00

This is a video tutorial or tips. on maya and ocean render with mental ray. I'm use a mia_material with preset water, transparency, falloff distance color refraction and Maya "ocean texture". I'm use ocean textures on bump node of mia_material set the ocean texture paramater and the ocean wave appear on mia_material. After this i'm duplicate ocean texture and connect with connection editor the parameters of the two ocean for the same result, but not connected the foam parameters. After this i'm ins the one ocean textures as color on mia material and up the foam parameters for look it on ocean, up the V Value on color chooser on gaim of ocean for render the white well.

But this is the video, without audio for no problem with my english grammatical not coorect. :)
The video is in two parts on my youtube Channel

Make your diamond Farm

2009-11-19T06:29:00.000-08:00

Ok. When Zap started with a Tutorial Diamond Fire and Ice. I'm started with Maya and obtain the(some) same effects. I'm used the same Set light, but with WomArchLight and exposure in arbitrary mode, for not problem setting annoied With IBL for reflection. But i'm not able to recreate the diamond script create from Zap Anderson to fake DIspersion. Google help me. On cgtalk discussion i have download the L_Glass x64 version. And my render great. (or some great :) ).

The Maya scene old version

Remember then in this scene, upgrade the IBL HDR IMage and Important, i'm use L_Glass_x64, glare LUME shaders, Distortion Lume, BA_Dof(BinaryALchemyShaders)and wonderfull WomArchLight Light Shaders.

The scene is composed, by mia_material and l_Glass on shadow and Photons Shaders. But if you want a look great, use L_Glass on material and Photons and Shadows. But, render time increase much
