when i model in maya and export to maxwell, I set the units to Centimeters instead of Meters to get the scale correct. You may need to scale it down to be in centimeter size..unless that's just a maya thing why i have to export like that.

Sorry for the partial hijack, but this shouldn't be needed. The Maya plug-in handles unit conversions automatically (and so does Max), so if you have a 10 cm cube, it will export as 10 cm no matter what you set the scene unit to. If it doesn't work for you, please start a thread in the Maya sub-forum with an example, and we'll fix it.

Paul,

sorry only just spotted this thread. If you still need help let me know but I guess from the timescales mentioned in your first post that I'm a little late!?

Cheers,

I'm curious to see the result of this...

[Fernando Tella]

This was the fast result. I guess Paul doesn't mind me posting it.



I prefer the concept image, but this is where I got. There was a problem with the camera, which didn't have a target. Replaced it and light started to show more easily. The scene was very big so it needed high intensities too.

It was a lot of fun to work with it.

concept sketches always have their own charm ... especially on scifi scenes I prefer sketches in most cases.

Fernando how long did you render that image? it looks pretty noise yet. are you going to post the final image?
thanks

[Fernando Tella]

It is just a preview as I was only requested to illuminate and send the scene file so the target was the scene file and not the render. I can't remember exactly for how long did it render; it was something like: start the render > have dinner > stop render.

Thanks Ivox.

I'm flattered Paul; thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with this scene.

I don't see the big issue here, pay me 200 bucks and I will light it in vray and render it out for you...Looks like a fun scene to play with in general. You did a good job Fernando!

[Fernando Tella]

Thanks!
