Video Tutorial 002 - Mi-24 Texturing Basics and UVs. Rendering With V-Ray for Maya | Golaem Crowd. Note that before trying to render, a .cam file needs to be created/loaded in the Asset Manager and EntityTypes need to be assigned a Rendering Type (see Quickstart / Assign Rendering Type for more details). Also make sure that your source character shaders has been imported in your scene and that they are active (see Quickstart / Import Shaders for more details) Export simulation 1/ Use the simulation tool to export a simulation cache. It is not needed to enable V-Ray export, the .vrscene files are auto-generated at render time. Select V-Ray as your current renderer 2/ Select V-Ray in the Maya Render/Render Using menu Create a render proxy 3/ Click on the Crowd Render Proxy Tool in order to create a V-Ray Proxy, confirm and check that all your render settings are OK Render 4/ Hit Render, and you are done! Rendering the Golaem Crowd Proxy with V-Ray Notice that, thanks to procedural rendering, it is possible to change asset repartition at any time with the Assets Manager.
Some Things to Know. Render Elements / Render Passes | Golaem Crowd. As Golaem Crowd is tightly integrated with V-Ray, most V-Ray Render Elements work natively with the V-Ray Crowd Render Proxy. This page details the Elements for which some configuration is required. Reference Render Multi Matte This Element creates selection masks based on Multimatte ID or Object ID. Thus, to use it with the Crowd Proxy, you need to specify a MultiMatte ID for each shader used by the Crowd Characters within Maya. If the MultiMatte ID of the skin shader is set the following way: And the Multi Matte Element with the following parameters (eg meshes with shaders having a material ID of 1 will be displayed in the green channel of the Element): It results in the following output: Material ID This Element outputs the Material ID color. Object ID This Element outputs the Object ID (set through the node's properties dialog).
Velocity This Element outputs the surface velocity.

AE. NUKE. REALFLOW. Vray. MAYA. 3ds Max. Arnold x Guerilla. Uvlayout tutorial. After spending many hours uvmapping in Max I decided to look for some alternative applications that may provide some tools for speeding up the process, this is when I discovered UVLayout, at first glance the program looks quite dated by current standards, but after spending some time with the program it has some great features and I find myself using it for any complex unwrapping I need to do. The relax tools in Max have a habbit of collapsing verts and can require a lot of manual tweaking, uvlayout seems to keep these issues to a minimum, and the symmetry option is a great help, allowing you to instantly mirror uv changes over a specified symmetry line. This tutorial covers the basic process that will allow anyone new to the program to get some quick results.
Here is a quick reference list of the main controls you will want to be familiar with. Export mesh as an obj, in Max 2009 you can use the zbrush obj settings and this will be fine. To remove seams use the backspace key. Welcome to The Computer Graphics Society.
