Julia Wolf-Girl Mason Ah okay - and in terms of the final animation, we have to do it in Pal right? but which setting on after effects as there's like 6 different ones :S
Hey guys I'm trying to render my animation, I've put a surface shader with my matte painting around my ''world'' and a light so that the world is lit, but the textures are flat and not like what I see in my view point. What should I do?

Garisson Impala What do you mean by flat textures

Julia Wolf-Girl Mason I'll screen shot hang on

Cat Barber surface shaders don't pick up light, they remain a block colour, maybe if you use a lambert instead and adjust the light and raytracing in render settings it can give you a similar effect

Julia Wolf-Girl Mason well it sort of fixed itself, but I'm rendering out using mental ray and this is what I see .... the texture on the helmet is different to the view point....

Garisson Impala I dont see the difference, is it shinier, reflective, what do you want it to look like? They are very similar

Garisson Impala Render your character in maya separately and the rest of the scene in mental ray is all i can think of, then put them together in AE

Julia Wolf-Girl Mason So what put the environment on a separate layer and turn it off to render the animation out with maya 2.0 then do the opposite to render the environment in mental ray?

Garisson Impala You could try that yeah, hopefully it will work

Charlie Serafini have you got a bump map on the helmet? If you do, try turning the value down because it looks like that could be the issue

Julia Wolf-Girl Mason Yeah I do but I havnt got it on that high it's on about 0.575 or thereabouts it's just that the actual substance itself is not clearly visable in the render but is in the viewport. I've tried rending it out using Maya 2.0 and the textures are correct b...See More

Charlie Serafini Oh I think Alan covered how to get substances to work in mental ray on a tutorial. Erm one of the Digital set ones I think, I can't remember though.
You could playblast it out, but it would be a previs not a final animation.

Julia Wolf-Girl Mason figured why the textures didnt show - the bump and specular maps had to be added like in the digital set tutorial I didn't know this -.- butt it renders now
