HDRI Dome render visibility
Posted in: Mayahttp://www.metic.net/maya/HDRI/hdri.php
I can’t seem to set up the render layer (layers) properly.
Starting at 5:45 (toward the end of the tutorial) it tells you how to remove the HDRI dome so it doesn’t show up in the render, but you still get the lighting from it.
However, I have Maya 2009, and it’s totally different and I can’t seem to get it to work. Does anyone know how to do this in Maya 2009?
Thanks in advance!

Sort of dot box tool
Posted in: Digital Fusion / DFX+I see in tutorials what I call a dot tool, just like a box node that allow you to reorganize your flow. I show you in the picture what I’m talking about.
But where is this tool, I just can’t find it.
Sorry if the question has been already asked but as I don’t know the name of th etool, that’s hard to find it.
Thanks

intelligent tab key
Posted in: NUKE from The Foundryhi:
i am a mac user so I use quicksilver a lot. I wonder if others have thought about having something like it for the tab key. I find myself using it a lot to load nodes. The problem is that it is not remembering what i am using.
For example i want a camera node but if i press tab and type "cam", camerashake comes first. If i choose camera, next time nuke should remember that i want the camera node when i type "cam" or even "ca".
is there a chance to manually script this?
thanks

Objects scale
Posted in: 3DS MaxAlright so im in the concept phase of a 3D castle im going to make. I have a question though. Ive heard that its good to use real life scale and measurements when working with architecture. Would this be a fact? The castle im going to build is going to be huge. Should I just work with generic units? :confused:

Sandro Lodolo fu l’ideatore delle sigle di molte trasmissioni della Rai. Lavorò in RAI per trenta anni e ha curato la sigla di numerosi caroselli, la sigla di Tv7 e quella della storica diretta dell’atterraggio del primo uomo sulla Luna nel 1969.
Da wikipedia.org: “Nel 1953, diplomatosi grafico pubblicitario, insegnò lui stesso tecnica di animazione nel medesimo Istituto. Nel 1955 realizzò alcune sequenze animate per un film musicale di Xavier Cugat ed entrò come collaboratore ai servizi giornalistici televisivi della RAI per la quale progettò e realizzò anche degli inserti animati per Canzonissima di Garinei e Giovannini. Tre anni più tardi lasciò la RAI ed aprì uno studio pubblicitario in società con un ex compagno del (C.I.A.C.), Ermanno Biamonte. Nello stesso anno conobbe Pino Pascali che collaborerà con lui per dieci anni. Nel 1958-1959 realizza, con la collaborazione di Pino Pascali, alcuni spot per Fleurop, Amadis, Abiti Monti, Autoservizi Maggiore, Conserve Baratta e Ferrovie dello Stato. Nel 1960 fondò, in società con Massimo Saraceni, la Massimo Saraceni Cinematografica (M.S.C.). Sempre avvalendosi della collaborazione di Pino Pascali, realizzò spot pubblicitari, dal vero e in animazione, per Algida, Marga, FF.SS., Squibb, Caffè Mauro, Caffè Camerino, Ariston, Fleurop, Maggiora, Cirio, Amadis, RAI TV, Sacis, Steel USA, Conserve Arlecchino e Argo Elettrodomestici. Nel 1965 lasciò la M.S.C. e fondò la Lodolofilm. In oltre trent’anni di attività realizzerà innumerevoli sigle televisive. Fra le più note, Sapere, Tv7, Incontri, Spazio, Boomerang, Faccia a Faccia, Dossier, Rischiatutto, Prima visione, Break, Tante scuse, Colazione allo studio 7, L’approdo, Domenica in…, Flash , TG1 e Fantafestival. Ha prodotto e realizzato centinaia di caroselli e spot televisivi fra cui Algida, Marga, Strega Alberti, Radiotelefortuna, Petrini, Dieterba, Curcio Editore, Totocalcio, Enalotto, Alco, Toseroni, Arena, Fiorucci, Barilla, Wilkinson, Unedi, Ariston, Spigadoro, Fleurop, Ministero della Sanità (campagna donazione organi) e Cassa di Risparmio di Roma. E documentari e film industriali per Enel, Fiat, CNEN, IRI, Esso, Marina Militare, Regione Sardegna, Regione Abruzzo e Dipartimento Scuola Educazione RAI TV. Ha realizzato le sigle di testa per i film Top Crack, Le Fate, Io tigro, tu tigri, egli tigra, Il colonnello Buttiglione diventa generale, Vogliamo i colonnelli e Il rompiballe. Nel 1991 realizzò un film sperimentale in animazione dal titolo Pianeta Acqua e l’anno successivo, in occasione del 500° anniversario della scoperta dell’America, scrisse e produsse il film La grande scoperta, realizzato in animazione con la tecnica del passo-uno”.

masks
Posted in: Matchmoving SoftwareHi, I am pretty new to vfx.
I filmed my footage standing in an alley looking in the direction of a street (at the end of the alley). I have some cameramovement and tracked everything in boujou and imported it into maya. Now, if i want a cg-car passing on the street, how can I mask the two walls of the alley so the cg is not overlapping the footage(later after 3d-rendering and in compositing)???? Sorry for my english and the bad explanation

Matchmoving mask
Posted in: Beginners TalkHello everyone. This is my first post on vfxtalk and I am not realy sure wheter, to put this question in the beginner or professional Talk (I post it here, cause the answer might com from a professional :rolleyes:). I study animation in first semester, and just found out about the great possibilities of matchmoving and 3d. Now my question is(the real question is asked after I explained what I have done so faar), I filmed (some camera movement), standing in an alley, looking on a street (so I got high walls on both sides next to me, and an open end, where the street is passing by). I import the footage into Boujou , 3d-track it and get into my 3d app (maya) , create a car driving on the street. Next step I load it into my compositing app.. And this is where my question appears. How do I mask out the walls on the right and the left, so I see the car driving on the streets only (and not overlapping with the walls)???? One answer I could think of is rebuilding the walls in 3d and not render them out….but is there an other way?????? Thanks a lot and sorry for my english and bad explanation:)
