Clay Rendering in Maya

[PRIMO]

Hi all
I have created Clay rendering tutorial for maya users.
This is my first tutorial:

Hope it will be usefull to you:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

"Thanks-for-sharing".

Makes a change to read through a tutorial where the text and graphics can actually be read and is not out of focus!!!

merci

I'm glad you like it

nice tutorial PRIMO but theres a far faster method that may be worth trying

download the dirtmap shader for maya & mental ray. Install it and plug the shader into the colour node of a lambert. Add this to all your objects and do an MR render - you wont even need final gather or GI switched on
nice thing is you can create another lambert/dirtmap_shader node and adjust colours and brightness but still get that nice clayrender falloff around objects.

its a bit of a pain in the buttocks trying to find the darn shader anywhere but I recently found it again so I've uploaded it onto savefile.com here:

hope I've not stepped on yer toes here PRIMO

Thanks for this great tutorial! I really enjoyed the results I got.

Got a few warnings in the output window though, don´t know what it means...

"2RC 0.9 warn 082069: finalgather diffuse depth 3 too high set to reflection 3 + refraction 0
RCFG 0.9 warn 542002: angle between normal and geometry normal > 90 degrees
RCFG 0.3 warn 542002: angle between normal and geometry normal > 90 degrees
RCFG 0.9 warn 542002: angle between normal and geometry normal > 90 degrees
RCFG 0.3 warn 542002: angle between normal and geometry normal > 90 degrees
RCFG 0.3 warn 542002: angle between normal and geometry normal > 90 degrees
RCFG 0.3 warn 542002: angle between normal and geometry normal > 90 degrees
RCFG 0.2 warn 542002: angle between normal and geometry normal > 90 degrees"

One thing to keep in mind is the FG radius depends on the size of your object. Generally the max radius should be 10% of the longest length of the scene (excluding ground planes and other abnormally huge objects), and the min radius 10% of the max.
