Cool thanks for all these links, will definitely check them out!
I already mentioned this in another thread about the Eat3D: Old Pillar DVD, but I'm currently watching it and am a bit stumped, since I'm using Maya and Mudbox instead of the Max-Mudbox workflow shown on the DVD.
3 questions come to mind, if anyone has gone through the same process that I have. First off, how to get around the pelt mapping that Max has, since I don't think Maya has such a feature. My initial thought was use
Headus UV Layout since it should hopefully give a similar result.
The 2nd and 3rd questions are more on the same topic. Firstly, in Max he uses
Render to Texture, I'm guessing the equivalent in Maya is
Transfer Maps? And lastly, before he uses render to texture to bake the maps, everything seems to be colored a default gray, then after baking the maps, the rebars are colored a pale red in the new diffuse map. Why is that? Thanks for all the info in advance, much appreciated.
