@ilSignorLimone 2 года назад

This is awesome, I especially appreciate the node part. I did many tests with the render settings and found out that bumping up specular samples instead of camera AA gave me nicer results in less time, if you didn't already, give it a try. BTW, lately I'm having huuuuuge problems with xgen, arnold and batch render, where it renders just a bunch of frames (sometimes just one) and then the batch stops. Did you encounter this situation rendering your turntables? If so, did you find a solution? Again, thanks for the top tier content (as usual)

@artofjhill 2 года назад

thanks, I'll remember the spec tip. I use render sequence in the render menu, not batch. I've never had problems. Make sure the right project is selected and the paths are all good. If a renderview render works, so does the sequence in my experience.

@yobased2872 2 года назад

Hey J, can you please do a more dedicated Zmodeler tutorial showing your actual workflow of how you would tackle hard edged mech type stuff like the "Flex" girl's mech arm? I tried to follow along during that timelapse but there's a lot of jump cuts and lack of explanation for hard surface noobs like me. I've put off learning the hard edged/mech workflow until now, but with the introduction of the new Knife Brushes etc I'd love to know how industry pros like you now do it. (I know it's not your forte but I still prefer learning from you over many other artist who may be very technical but do not explain things very well)

@artofjhill 2 года назад

Hey J, thanks a lot for the tutorial🔥. Was really helpful for my current project. One quick question: I just came across one problem and I don't really know if its a bug or am I doing something wrong but after the groom if I scale the model and refresh the hairs, it shows in the viewport that the hairs have scaled down too but when I try rendering it, it shows the previous unscaled hairs. Thanks in advance for the help.😊

@artofjhill 2 года назад

Not sure maybe you can’t scale but I’d try to refresh the groom and the render view

@K1LLSW1TCH3D 2 года назад

Hi J. Awesome series of videos. Learned a ton and cool tricks. I was trying the Noise and Variation technique. Correct me if I am wrong, but aiNoise piped to melanin as seen in your video (11:20) works with IGS only yes? I am using Xgen Core, and does not work for me if I change the coord space to UV. I suspect I would have to make a custom shader parameter for that to work correctly if I use the Xgen Core? Thanks.

@K1LLSW1TCH3D 2 года назад

Ok, so adding a NoiseC or similar under Samples library in the custom shader parameter does the trick.

@artofjhill 2 года назад

Perfect. The noise does work with IGS and not core

Your Maya/Arnold tutorials are very valuable, it's likely that other Maya users feel the same. The sheer amount of Blender tutorials available compared to Maya tutorials is absurd..! Guess it makes sense considering one is free... Either way, you are doing god's work, please keep releasing Maya classes! I feel stuck with it because it's what Uni taught us, you are helping me unlock its true power.

@7gaggo 2 года назад

Hey J ! Thank you for your videos they are very informative, i really like your formula ! I have a question about the interactive groom because i have a pretty heavy scene with a llama with full fur and a character on top with hairs, does the interactive groom make it hairs lighter in terms of ram cpu and gpu usage ? In other words, is it a good idea for me to convert all my hairs into an interactive groom when everything is ready? I guess i wouldn't be able to work on my guides and modifiers anymore after that. Thanks again for you work !!

@artofjhill 2 года назад

Good question, I don’t notice a big difference myself and you can always reduce the CV count to lighten it then raise it to render. You can’t use guides, no. You can groom with brushes and layers though if you still wanted ti tweak stuff.

@7gaggo 2 года назад

@@artofjhill Ok thank you, i'm asking because i don't know the reason why but maya give me a "out of memory" error when i want to see the full groom, but i have a rtx 3090, a 10900k and 64Go DDR4, so there's obviously something i'm doing wrong. The groom on the girl hair is ok but the full llama fur is heavy. Putting the two together with all the stuffs i plan to add, maybe impossible and i need a render farm ^^

I'm was wondering what you think about the Ornatrix plugin for c4d? I use C4D and I really want to get into designing characters like you but I would rather not have to jump into maya to do only that. Do you think this has potential to create realistic hair liuke yours?

@artofjhill 2 года назад

Ornatrix can produce good results. I'm sure there are lots of differences in specifics but I've seen good results with it

@harariri8134 Год назад

that hair looks so realistic, is it possible to bake that hair textures to use outside of Arnold, mr @artofjhill ?

@artofjhill Год назад

Hey. If you mean as hair cards, not really. You’d make it another way. But to render as hair in things like unreal and blender etc yea you can export the hair as curves and render it in other things besides Arnold
