I'm about to render a vehicle and I'm not sure where to load my gloss and spec maps. I'm thinking blinn would work ok. Do I load the spec map in specular color? Do I load the gloss map in...

Yep, that's what I would use if I had a high-poly and low-poly model but what if I only have a low poly model? Batch bake takes a lot longer than Convert to File Texture it seems and it gives me an...

Oh wow that actually worked, thanks dave. It sucks that it doesn't do multiple materials at once though, any way to get around that?

Maybe someone can enlighten me. Thanks.

Still can't get it to work, can't imagine what I'm doing wrong. I tried it both in maya 2014 and 2015, created a brand new project folder, tried to select the shader group as well as PixalZA...

I tried with maya software and in the render settings window and same thing. Where am I supposed to find the file texture, the output? Also it doesn't seem to work with multiple materials, I'm...

I can't get Convert to File Texture (Maya Software) in hypershade to work. Where does it save the file? I select my model and shift select the material in hypershade and the only result I get is that...

Let's say I add mi_car_paint_phen_x and mib_amb_occlusion to a layeredTexture. (did you mean layeredShader?) Then I need to connect the layeredTexture to a material, I can't just assign the...

Isn't that kinda like using the mib_amb_occlusion node on a lambert? Is there a way to maybe render -just- the ambient?

mi_car_paint_phen_x doesn't have the ambient occlusion option like mia_material_x. How would you add ambient occlusion to mi_car_paint_phen_x? I tried different methods and nothing really works....
