Annouce: Mental Ray Render Pass ToolKit 1.0 Released

[strange_quark]

for some reason the mia Pass ambient occlusion setting won’t allow you to change it to “ON with color bleeding”. its in the miaX material and it works well there… would this be an easy fix?

my site is online now, I move the server so It is down for a while

Sure, i will put it in highend 3d after suffer some broken connection in past time

[jcrogel]

Thanks

[strange_quark]

i suggest you make this update to mia_pass_phen definition file.

line 82 WAS:

    boolean  "ao_do_details"  default on,

should be:

    integer  "ao_do_details"  default 1,           #: min 0 max 2 enum "Off:On:With color bleed"

this will enable color bleeding AO…

Thanks a lot for sharing this.

I’m finding with my initial tests on the sss shader, as soon as I set up the SSS pass nodes, my render time goes from 15 seconds to nearly 5 minutes (on a simple test sphere lit with HDRI), even when I’m not batch rendering.

I know you said that your sss is slower to render, but I must be doing something wrong to get this result.

EDIT - Nevermind, set up a new scene and seemed to fix it.

One general problem I have using framebuffers though, is that when I use physical sun and sky all the layers come out far too bright, and I’ve no idea why. No problem with direct lights or hdri. Would be very interested to know what’s causing that.

Cheers

NOTE: NOW 32 AND 64 BIT WIN
Rendering pass with Mentalray for Maya is a problem from version to version. All user just want a ONE CLICK solution, but Alias, and now Autodesk, never think of us as end-user, but more “developer” when giving us pieces of shader, buffer, multi-output.

    Ya, I wont make complain any more, this has been discussed too much on cgtalk.com also many other CG site. So I decide to make a Tool Kit to allow pass-render for Maya Mentalray with [b]ONE CLICK SETUP.[/b]
   
    . This version currently support [b]mia_material [/b]and [b]misss_fast_skin_maya

Howdy,

This is due to the fact that the physical Sun/Sky is intended to be used with a Linear lighting workflow. Check your camera under the Mental ray tab. An exposure node was plugged in there increasing your Gamma to 2.2 from 1.0.

This is a very interesting topic, Linear workflow. Check out this link and tutorials. Lots of eye opening info here. Specific practices will vary, but the basic idea is the same.

I was also working on SSS shaders

I hate the “pass system” of maya for now, I prefere use mia shaders everywhere and use my script

[Sybexmed]

Hello, does your toolkit work for Maya 2009?

[joie]

Do you have an explanation of your method in other languagge, english may be?.

Thank’s, looks cool.

[3DRenderer]

yeah, that’d be cool-ENGLISH

[pix3lm0nk]

just use google translate. You’ll get the gist of the site.

[DQvsRA]

Hello.
I use maya 2009 and try to use your script.
Do everything what write in creativecrash:
http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/scripts-plugins/rendering/mental-ray/c/mentalray-render-pass-toolkit
and after try this in script editor:
source gl_mrRenderTool.mel;
mrRenderTool;
I have a error message like this:
// Error: file: C:/Users/DQvsRA/Documents/maya/2009/scripts/gl_mrRenderTool.MEL line 491: No object matches name: miDefaultOptions.minSamples //

What’s happend?

[Sybexmed]

Hey will this work for Windows 7 64bit?

[crispy4004]

I don’t get it, Deex releases a outstanding, super easy solution, granted it’s in early stages, and Sagroth writes a extensive tutorial with yet another new script. Why are there people still asking if this old solution works with versions past 2008?

[DQvsRA]

Thnx for this information!
Deex create a very usefull stuff !!! So far soooo GOOODD!!
