In Maya how do i render an hdri/ibl when using sun and sky? Or, how do i just disable the sky in sun and sky from renders? It seems like like MR for Maya is missing a lot of the options that Max has.

If anything, your implication is just inaccurate, I'm not saying, stop asking questions in a questions thread, I'm saying stop relying so much on the thread when it's clearly not as smart of a move than just simply looking up the term on the internet.

fill face function and start making edges with a knife

few tips

- you can select 2 vertices's and create an edge by clicking "J"
-clean up the mesh before you do any complex operations, click a to select all and remove doubles
-use the knife tool by clicking "K" then while in knife tool mode click "C" to cut a straight line across an axis
-you can shape everything to quads, large or small but triangles are ok too

The trick is not to close it. It's not closed on a real boot. It's just a layer of fabric with thickness that then has a sole sewn on.
Since you're new, you probably aren't aware that not all parts of your mesh need to be physically connected. You can simply have sub-parts that are penetrating eachother.

anyway, apply a subdivision surface modifier, just to see if it's all ok and smooth. Maybe you have fuked up some loops and don't even know it, happens sometimes if you extrude 2 times the same loop.

Rookie here, I've a couple of questions about UV mapping in Blender.
First off, pieces 1 and 2 are exactly the same, so how come their UV maps aren't mirrored?
Second, why does piece 3 keep leaning? I tried two different versions of Blender and various different marked seams and it always leans to the side. Pieces 4, 5 and the unnumbered one do too, but it's less noticable.
I know I can rotate the islands, but that'd be far from precise. I can only imagine the frustration of someone working for days on a high poly model only for Blender to give him shit at some point.

Just use Sculptris instead for learning to sculpt. It handles millions of polys without issue, unlike Blender, and is just a better tool for sculpting in general. Then when ya wanna move on up, you can go pirate ZBrush.

They have the same seams and the pieces were mirrored prior to marking them.

>its not leaning, it tries to keep the islands close as possible

And Blender turns the islands in order to pack them as tight as it can? The same piece gives me the same issue even when I erase everything but it before unwrapping.

It's probably just Blender attempting to pack them better. Can you disable scaling/rotation in it?

For such a simple object I'd personally just turn on snapping and snap the verts of one to the other to get a perfect overlap.

You're asking the wrong question. It's just software. Whether or not you're any good is up to your art skill and you can practice that with real life clay.

Whether or not someone draws with a super expensive pencil or a piece of literal feces is irrelevant. The end result will reflect the artistic ability, even though the medium will cap the ability a little.

Blender's sculpting capabilities are still fairly new compared to some other software packages. It only got dyntopo a couple years back (I believe it's roughly equivalent to dynamesh, although I'm not sure since I've never used ZBrush). It's had sculpting in general for a while, but the workflow was a lot different than it is today.

So while there probably are some people who "got good" using Blender's sculpting, you probably won't find a lot of them yet.

There are a number of people on blenderartists that do very nice sculpts, but I have no idea what they started on.

All that said, it doesn't really matter what you learn on. Learning the interface of a new sculpting app is easy compared to learning to sculpt in general.

So /3/, How would i go about making a cloak with ripples like this? I was considering drawing the hem-line as a spline, extruding upwards, and scaling the top inwards, then possibly relaxing parts of the mesh.
Does anybody know of an easier / more effective way? Preferably using Maya, also have Max.

I'm trying to create a fog effect in maya's hardware 2.0 renderer but this fluid container keeps casting a shadow despite having casts shadows unchecked. How do I stop this thing from casting shadows or if that isn't possible then what's the most effective way to create volumetric fog in the hardware 2.0 renderer?

Also why the fuck does glow not work in hardware 2.0?

Marvelous Designer is by far the easier way to make this, though the design is simple enough that you could just do an nCloth simulation in Maya using a sheet of fabric with a hole for the neck in it. Place it around the neck and let gravity take it down. You can save the simulated shape as the base shape.

I've tried this. It isn't very effective since there's no real way to force the ripples and folds. I'm trying to place collision geometry to force it to drape in a specific way, then delete bits i don't like, but it's a pain in the ass. I've never used marvelous, is it a bitch to torrent / learn?

Yes, that would definitely work. You can use a simplified version of the mesh as a deformation lattice for the folded version, and then simulate with that. So you retain the folds, but have it simulate nicely over the body.

No I mean, it looks like THE WHOLE mesh is being extruded, instead of the top 4 polys...

If you wanna upload the scene file I can probably take a look at it and tell you what went wrong.

And no, you don't want to remove those edge at the top, you'd end up with an n-gon and break your edge-flow.

I dont know what, but the idea that this was done by mostly 1 man, and to come out looking nice like this has filled me with DETERMINATION to try and learn 3D to make a video game (and maybe porn, gotta love GOOD 3D porn)
Problem is I know jack fucking shit, besides watching The Boogie making the Midna model for a while
What is the best starting point for me?
When making a model you use a Wire Frame for the structure and then a tool assist to round out the edges?
The T-Pose is the best pose to make sure the model comes out the most clean?

I am video editing in Blender, but when I want to output it for upload video streaming settings the quality it produces is not up to my expectations. Especially darker areas and dark gradients tend to have pretty bad fragmentation. Now I also have to keep in mind the file sizes should be too big. I maxed out all settings way higher than recommended and now I have more than one GB file size for a not even 2 minutes clip. Anyone has expirience with blender video output settings?

I wanted to compress some video clips for upload to youtube.

But I looked at the recorded video clips and they werent so great quality to begin with, so it isnt Blenders fault.

I recorded some stuff with Open Broadcaster Software in Unity engine with 60fps and already tried to get a balance between minimal frame stuttering and picture quality, might want to get a capture card in the future.
