Convert AVI to TGA sequence

search websit for format transform, there are many small software to use,but  AE can make avi to tga as well

use render queue--set out put setting as TGA and some data do change what you need

and then choose scales start frame and end frame to match mover: there is point need to metion for me in case recurrence,just quickly remeber:

 CTRL + click yellow numbers , there are frame / seconds/ frame+ seconds

sneak walk and problems need solve it

mental ray render sneak walk, for the next step will render body and shadow only without other things,but i still has problem about Match Mover.

There are serval problems need solve it:

• Baris told me use z depth to render body and  shadow
• before Match Mover, must convert AVI to TGA file,and then take those sequences into match mover
• texture of the eraser

for the texture i want use real material:

tooth and eyeball textures

 i like this eye ball lambert is best i think in here.

 teeth --anisotropic

 phone

 bline

 bline

just try ocean shader,I won't use it

good

How to render shadow only

Hi guys,

I am sure this is an easy one for many, but this is really frustrating me. I rendering a scene and would like to only render the shadow on a particular object. I want no light to reflect off that object infact i want the object to be invisible except for the shadow.

I have tried to remove "Primary visibility" in the Render sats of the object but that also turns off the shadow effect even though i have checked it to receive shadows.

Without using a compositing program, how do i render just a shadow on an object please.

Many thanks in advance.
Mike

Ok, i have solved it.

Just incase anyone is interested, simply right-click on the object, select "assign new material" then select background.

It is that easy :-)

mental ray sunddenly gone

My maya mental ray just disppered suddenly,then I found the reason and how to fix it from this websit http://3dg.me/3d-graphics/maya/mental-ray-in-maya-disappeared-bring-it-back

Probably, one of the most common question about Maya is this one: - Where is my mental ray?! Any Maya user faced this problem at least once, and beginner 3D Artist is easy to be confused with this. He look in Render Settings menu and there is no any sign of mr anymore. So - what to do for bring it back and why mental ray disappears so sudden anyway? Read the answer next.

Observant users for sure noticed that mental ray disappears after Maya crashes or unexpected PC reboot. That's the main reason why it gone - Maya developers decided to automatically unload and un-plug mental ray in case of unexpected shotdown of Maya, i.e. if Maya "hangs" and was killed through Task Manager or so on.Because mental ray in Maya is just a plug-in - it can be enabled and disabled just as regular one, in dedicated for this menu. So, for bring it back you need just go to Window --> Settings/Prefrences --> Plug-in Manager, find in the list Mayatomr.mll and check Loaded и Autoload. That's it, mental ray should load and work as usual now.
