Hasta La Motion!

hy all

i have this problem with stains that appear on the reflective surfaces when i add directional lights

any idea why ?

thanks

Ok .. i think this can be constructive. I want to know what you are using for your renders. Is it mental ray, is it vray, is it final render or brazil? And more important, why?
Ok, this was the first question. I just want to see why you are rendering with that engine, what are the benefits from your p.o.v.

Second question. Do you render all the time all the passes for comping? If not, which are the passes that you render most often? Why?

Third question. Do you render with DOF on or just render a Z-depth pass and add DOF in comp? Same question goes with motion blur -> motion vectors or inside job?

I am usually rendering in mental ray. I don’t usually render all the passes unless I’m not that sure what am I going to do in comp. Usually I try to get the 3d look pretty close to what I need. I don’t rely on changing the look DRAMATICLY during comping. Of course, most of the times I render diffuse, specular, reflection, AO, self illumination. I often do a low-res low-qual test render before the final one. Most of the times I rely on Z-depth and motion vectors. I find it much faster, but sometimes it costs me when I have very fine detail.

hi, i’m creating object fracturing simulation, i can send the final simulation to nuke via .obj format as geometry sequence without any problem. Now i’m just curious… is it possible if i just import in the geometry source then apply the mdd deformer inside nuke? anyone know if there is any mdd importer available for nuke?

thanx.

Hi,
My old graphic card died yesterday so I bought GTX 560.After I install the graphic card and switch the PC ON, everything seems to be running fine but but my monitor is not displaying anything.

What could be the problem.Everything was fine with my old card.The fan died off so the PC would worked well until it gets over heated.

Please Help.
