اهلا عزيزي مازن ...

هذه اعتقد متيريل الفي راي ..

حاولت من قبل فتره و لكن مع الاسف لم اصل لنتيجه ...

ان شاء الله احد الاعضاء يكون عنده حل ..

hello my friend ... long time have not heard from you, hope you and the family are well
by the way my name is Mohamed

it is for Mentaray not vRay

so do you have a quick way to make plastic and metal, running out of time as you know have not use Maya for 3 years, so do not have time to go through all old stuff now.

thanx

هل جربت mia متيريل ؟

فيها تقريبا جميع الخامات الرئيسية

من ظمنها البلاستيك و المعادن مثل الذهب و النحاس و الكروم و الزجاج

[mazm]

ohh .... thanx, I will try it now
the issue is am not rendering, I will bake all the materials and use it in a real time engine, but i will give it a try anyway.

[mazm]

why when am using plane with Logo (Alpha) it does not give me transparent in the object behind it.
as I remember there is a shader ... you can merge texture with material, is this the right way to do this.
so I can use the logo and the main color in the same shader.

[mazm]

how can I export my OBJ file with high rez.
tried to convert it to sudivision but it seems like it is working as i want.

any ideas ?

حاول تعمل سموث للجسم .. و بعدين صدره ..

قصدك .map ؟؟
و هي صيغة التشكستشر الأنسب للمنتال راي ؟؟

[mazm]

but how to use it, it gives you a *.mat file ....

مساء الخير أخي mazm
الماتيريال .mat هي مخصصه للـ 3D SMax

سأحاول أن أعمل لها Convert إذا أسعفني الوقت بالبحث وكتابة برنامج للتحويل لكن في الوضع الحالي فلن تستطيع التعامل معها في المايا

تحياتي لك

I got the mat file from this website :
http://www.mrmaterials.com/component...nc=select&id=4

so it should be for Maya, but anyway ... if you have any idea about this, let me know please.

thanx

Good evening mazm
i saw the site and Maya section and i download one of the materials from the section and the file with .ma format not .mat All Maya materials with the same format so maybe you download it from 3D SMax section becouse the Node is not the same .

take a look
http://www.mrmaterials.com/resource-...fileinfo&id=63

so if you download a maya material open the .ma file ....go to the Hypershade ... the material in the list ... render the scene with Mentalray .

[mazm]

thanx a lot for your concern so how to open the *.ma file
import it in the hypershade or there is another way.

so for bothering you
