Skin shading questions

Hey folks I've just dwelled a bit deeper into skin shading again, and I met the new MILA shaders from mental images. Awesome...simple to use, gives really good results. The key benefit of this shader system is that the scattering need no additional texture for epidermal and subdermal,

Re: Softimage Hair options?

Thanks Mario, you´re right, once I realized I could use masked areas and morphtargets it was a lot easier to control the hair grooming in zbrush. I haven´t managed to put together a simple sample moustache kind of file to test the import into Maya/Softimage and dynamics, yet. That´ll have to

Re: Softimage Hair options?

Maya nhair has been pretty good for me especially with collisions. I usually animate in xsi and send cached animation and camera to Maya to render a hair pass. On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 4:25 AM, Tim Leydecker bauero...@gmx.de wrote: Thanks Mario, you´re right, once I realized I could use

point clouds from soft to Max?

I'm sure this has been covered a dozen timesI'll have to go dig through the google groups. Thought I'd ask though. I have a point cloud/particle system I'm liking in Softimage and now want to bring it too max and apply Geo instances to the point cloud in Max. I can get Alembic over fine but

Re: Softimage Hair options?

Hi John, thanks for the workflow tip. I went through the GoZ and Export Curves options of ZBrush Fibermeshes yesterday, then either exporting the GoZ (polystrips) result from Maya to Softimage (as *.obj) or assigning an exisiting nhair system to the ZBrush curves imported into Maya as *.ma.
