Maya General

Hi folks. In this page I am going to share the error that I solved, some tips and tricks about softwares. Probably you will find this page from google while searching a solution for an error that makes you crazy :)

You are rendering your scene but you don't want to see background of it. You want to see only your object and its shadow so you need its matte/shadow pass. In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to render this matte/shadow pass in 3 most popular 3d software; 3d studio max, Maya and Cinema 4d.

After FXFX Maya Real Studio ver. 1.0, i got lots of feedback from all around the CG world and that positive feedback forced me to improve it much much more! And here is 2!

For example you have 5 scene and you want to render them in series so when one render is done, the other scene will be started to render automatically. There are some scripts and softwares for that but there is also a great way and easiest way to do this!

Probably, everyone who switched from 3d Studio Max to Maya have some difficulties about Maya's material editor. It is a bit more complicated than 3d max's and there are tons of great materials on internet for 3d studio max Vray. In this article, I will show, how to use (convert) 3d Studio Max Vray materials in Maya Vray.

If you are working on environment projects, lots of times you need some diffrent looking buildings and it might be really difficult to find diffrent type of buildings. Visual Effect Artist Ed Whetstone has a great helper for this matter; KludgeCity!

Fxfx Maya Real Studio is a useful Mel Script to create realistic scenes in just few clicks. You can render your model as realistic render in seconds.

When you wanted to show your model's topology, or you wanted to show your model in turntable, wireframe render can give your model more affective.

Depth of field is the name of distance range within the object acceptably sharp.It depends on aperture and focusing distance.

In 3d animations, moving objects looks much more affective if they have a little motion blur effect on them.
