you need final gather (or to pull the photon size down)

sorry i didn't see the pitbull's post !!!:banghead:

hi all,
is there a way in maya (like the soft selection funtion in max) when you move a vertex to move the vertices around according to the distance from the selected one

hi all,
i'm using some nurbs planes with textures as construction planes and i would like to know if there is a way (i'm sure there is !) to make them non selectable or transformable.
thanx

hi, please excuse me for the response delay
mental ray is using (as renderman and actually any renderer) it's own shaders to render an image.These shaders are something like a *.mi file.
Mental...

with the new mental ray for maya 1.5 you can use mental ray shaders so does anybody know how to compile the public shaders in the src folder of mental ray ?
thanx

for example if i make a cylinder from a revolved curve , is there a way to get no seam on the resultant surface ?

if you don't need real acurate gi solution , try to use Final Gather alone (settings depend of your scene).
you will get a gi like effect (color and light bleeding) for a really shorter time

hi all
how can i save a custom shader in the shader library to use it within different scenes ?
thanx

maya runs so slow when editing vertex in polygon proxy mode.
Is there a way to increase performances ?
Is maya fully multithreaded ?
thanx
