#4

Wow, this is a cracker of a scene.

#5

The obj file is not downloading. The ma file is getting downloaded.

#6

Hi
When opening the file the script editor is giving me errors. I think because its a 2011 scene and I am still working in previous edition of Maya? Is this the case. Can I resolve it?

LiliJoburg— open your ma file in world pad .and change version 2011 to whichever you want like 2010 or 2008…

This will be my first Lighting Challenge on CGTalk, I should have done these a long time ago.

Hi Maxmit
Please excuse my ignorance. Can I download World Pad for Mac. I cant seem to find it, only the PC version? Thanks L

#14

First shot
3d Max 2011 + Vray
Any suggestions?

#15

You shouldn’t need to edit the file. In Maya’s File Open… [] options box, be sure to check “ignore version” and earlier versions of Maya can open Maya 2011 scenes just fine.

Your displacement works for the grass, but your beach shouldn’t have it. Also your beach looks gray and not like sand.
Your sky looks kind of dull, maybe lower the Turbidity or Ozone if you’re using the VRaySun system.
Clouds would add a nice touch.
Your house materials look kind of flat.
Tree trunk looks gray.

Hope that helps.

The grass looks Really good. Maybe you could add some discoloration to break it up a bit. The stone in the front grass needs more of a shadow. It looks flat and doesn't really fit in. Also the chimney looks like a solid color and needs more of a normal or displacement
