The Stream of Conscience: Facial Rigging (Extreme Expressions)
http://brandonfayette.blogspot.com/2008/12/facial-rigging-extreme-expressions.html
The Stream of Conscience. Wherein I place things in that raw state before completion. Friday, December 5, 2008. Facial Rigging (Extreme Expressions). I've begun to setup the facial rig for the Hunter character as well as added detail to her face in order to really push a bit more specular and overall realism. I'll be mixing this with a 32 bit displacment, bump, and normal combiner network from maya to create blending in the rig that retains the stretching in pores and whatnot as the rig animates.

The Stream of Conscience: Hunter Facial Reconstruction
http://brandonfayette.blogspot.com/2008/12/hunter-facial-reconstruction.html
The Stream of Conscience. Wherein I place things in that raw state before completion. Sunday, December 21, 2008. There wasn't enough base topology for the model to be used in close shots. I'd decided I'd have to split her head off and figured I'd resculpt it while I did. Now I've got to find a way to reduce the render times from 30 mins a frame. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Stream of Conscience: Annoyed wth the Use Background Shader in Mental Ray? Use the MIP_MATTESHADOW!!!!
http://brandonfayette.blogspot.com/2009/01/annoyed-wth-use-background-shader-in.html
The Stream of Conscience. Wherein I place things in that raw state before completion. Thursday, January 8, 2009. Annoyed wth the Use Background Shader in Mental Ray? Use the MIP MATTESHADOW! I hate sometimes how the useBackground shader in maya just doesn't translate my depth maps the way I like in Mental Ray. Because of this I sought long and hard for a solution. Turns out that there is one with the advent of the lovely "hidden" mip matteshadow. CreateNode mip matteshadow;. Give it a go.

The Stream of Conscience: Things to Remember when connecting SSS to other Mental Ray nodes
http://brandonfayette.blogspot.com/2009/01/things-to-remember-when-connecting-sss.html
The Stream of Conscience. Wherein I place things in that raw state before completion. Thursday, January 8, 2009. Things to Remember when connecting SSS to other Mental Ray nodes. Some people tend to forget that when you use the fast sss material with other shaders (ie: Nexus, mia material x, etc) that you NEED TO HOOK UP THE LIGHTMAP NODE to the other shader. Here I've detailed 2 easy ways to hook the lightmap into the nodes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Charles Bunnag's Matte Painting.
