I'm sorry, I don't know about Maya renders either, but I just had to post a reply here and say that your model is AWESOME!!! That really is a fantastic piece of work!!! Well done :D

[toce]

good modeling, and nice beard :)

[Viper]

Oh that kickass!! Any chance we will see it textured?

BTW, it remind me of Dr Sid from Final Fantasy :)

[ZPitt]

Hi man you get! he he he I think It's so AWESOME also! Because I've made it for test mine new computer,and There's will be chance to see its textured after ! coming soon! Thanks everybody!

[iTEXTUREthings]

I dont know man...ive been trying to use GI Joe but no matter what I do maya's rendering always makes me want to cry :-(

[echo]

You can always try to find Mental Ray somewhere...
The basic Maya renderer kind of sucks.
Nice work, it does remind me of dr Sid as well but who cares, nice work!

[ZPitt]

HE HE! yeah! "who cares" but I caring about this, First of all that The FF's prodution that small take part by PDI Actually I have chat with maker of the PDI about making detail of the Dr Sid.
To made The Dr Sid's Face part was using many layer textured. I'll need a lot metrials for textures! right? And You knew that P4 was not best CUP But I only have to choosed it. I dont want to say why i have choosed P4! so I have made it to compared with AMD! and the result is winner by AMD! That's all Thanks everybody again!

[ZPitt]

I've been try it which Mental Ray for MAYA ! And If only to turn on Final render of the item, My baby would be sick and then It's just will be end up ! I dont know What's happening That there's no any message ! Here P4 is!

[echo]

AMD is better, sure...
here is a link to Mental Ray http://www.softimage.com/products/xsi/v2/promo/MR/default.asp
Final Render is not bad but you will get some artifacts easily when animating.

[echo]

About textures...yes they were using many layers...many many displacement textures..animated.
For the rest, I dont follow you...

[ZPitt]

Thanks man ! ! :)

[toce]

Itexture things, about GI_Joe, you ve got to edit the mel script to be able to use it... I will try to explain...: edit the mel with notepad. now, make a CTRL-F and search for "p:" you see, it s an old path where maya should find the script, all you have to do is to change that path, instead of it, put the directory of your maya scripts folder (where you unzipped the mel, example: c:/maya/4.0/script/..)

Make this for the 3 "p:/..." and rerun maya , launch GI_Joe and that should work... It does on my comp at least...

[ZPitt]

Thank you!

I ve knew what you meant !

But what s GI_joe? Could you post any pic of GI_Joe for me?

Is GI_Joe a MEL? and Who was its author! Where can i get it?

sorry I m stupid so much! he he he!

[underdog]

Hey man really great work on the model...he looks really good! If you carry on with this quality fo the body it would be just...you know..

About GI_joe, its a lighting script to fake GI take a look here http://www.3dluvr.com/pixho/

[dave_baer]

Here's a few spots for ya to try.

RAY DIFFUSE (http://http://www.3dluvr.com/lightengine3d/index2.html)

VIRTUAL LIGHT (http://http://www.3dvirtualight.com/)

[Jann-Lee]

That old man's model is really nice

good work

[esse]

First of all I want to say that the model looks amazing! Absolutely nice work.

GI_joe is a melscript and can be found at http://www.3dluvr.com/pixho/


Also check out the Skinshader plugin (for free on www.aliaswavefront.com) which simulates scattering of lights in different skinlayers. Pretty realistic simulation of the way light behaves on human skin!

Keep up the goodwork!

That model looks exactly like him, except less wrinkles. Then again, I think that the wrinkles where a texture.
