Dragunov SVD
 
Hey Guys,

Started Working On Dragunov SVD..
From Some Days...
And Here Are The Images Of How Far I Got...
Post Any Advise That You Think Can Be Helpfull...
Thank You...

:confused: One More Question :confused:
how to render like ColdWave Did Here?
http://srv01.simply3dworld.com/attac...&postid=294420

Many People Render in those Shade and also look good i just did mine with lights in all 4 side not top/bottom or do you guys do it with Plug-in? srry im new to maya..

Some Details Added...
And Do You Guys Think Is It Going To Get Somewhere? Because Already Got 14K Poly Faces Is That Good Or Bad? My Computer Is Taking It Easily...

Also I Heard That When You Get Triangle in Modeling Its Bad Most Of The Time? If Ya Why Is That?

model is looing pretty sweet :)

the renders that coldwave does are called ambient occlusion renders.
you can either use the render layers to get it or assign a mia_amb_occlusion node in the textures tab of the mental ray nodes in the hypershade (you need to switch to them in the panel on the left)

you can only do it with raytracing because it relies on it (if it doesn't make sense then find out what ambient occlusion means and what ray tracing is and all will be clear)

14k triangles isn't much, but if you plan to put this in an animation then for what it is it's probably getting on the high end and so you'd fake a bit of the details with texture/bump/normal/displacement mapping, might be a bit advanced for your level though, but doing ambient occlusion renders shouldn't be.

triangles are generally not an ideal way to go but it's not totally harmful and it won't muck up your renders unless you've got them oddly placed. in the end it's just the end result that matters.
for a hard surface model, since it doesn't deform like organics n-sided faces with n > 4 it shouldn't matter too much, but if you get weird gradients in your renders then it's sometimes because you've an n-sided face that isn't planar
quads (4 sided faces) seem to make for better deformations when soft or rigid skinning and it's a lot easier to determine what the toplogy (edge flow) is.

you should show some shots of the wireframe if you're unsure.
click shading > wireframe on shaded then take a screen shot and crop and resize the image

actually i don't think thats an occlusion render. I think its just a render with the environment set to white.

It's actually occlusion but with low settings.

Here is a tutorial of AO render - > http://www.game-artist.net/forums/vb...e&articleid=17

cool

jaymin1992 05-09-2009 03:48 PM

lol that AO thing was easy i think i had tried to find it hard i would had figured it out most like would had taken whole day lol

tx for great tutorial...updates are on their way...

jaymin1992 05-09-2009 04:57 PM

AO set up complete that was easy with tutorial but with out it O_0 impossible i think for me becz i have never got into mental ray yet... i will l8ter but for sure :attn:

is there a way to fake it? it takes a lot of time to render...

ColdWave 05-09-2009 05:04 PM

Glad i helped

This is "the faking it way" at least if you baked al the maps which you probably haven't since your model is still a w.i.p.

jaymin1992 05-09-2009 05:48 PM

so if i bake the mpa it would be faster but i shouldn't since its not done yet right? and
How to remove the extra unwanted details that mental ray gives?

uuhh, what more do you need to know than switching the renderer over to mental ray for an AO render?
it's not like it relies on final gather or global illumination or caustics
:beer:

anyway, that funkyness that you've circled i think is caused by the way your model was made

the edges are probably in funky places
show us a screen shot of the wire

jaymin1992 05-09-2009 11:21 PM

ya i see it now i got to clean them up because with software render i cant see it but with mental ray now i can so i have to fix it i guess...

srry cant put wireframe right now becz in middle of modeling

i will when im done with the part of it

tx

edit;;

I think for Mental ray if will be good if i only know AO because i will learn mental ray in deep later from begging...
