newbie question: RENDERMAPS 2004-08-19 - By circus geek
Back
hmmmm ... ok, i don't seem to be getting any results now
here's what i've been doing
-i set up my scene with lights and various textures
-i check my render options and even render out the first frame to make sure
everything looks like what i want (the scene includes FG as well as a light
casting a shadow)
- i select the object i want 'baked'
-i enter into property>rendermap
-select my settings with includes shadow, reflection and refraction
-when i go to regenerate map..., now nothing happens
i've gone over a couple of variations with no result
can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? thanks

Make sure you set your options for things like FG, shadows etc. in the
Render options, and not in the Region options. Rendermap uses the Render
options so that you can set up different passes to bake different effects.

Subject: RE: newbie question: "baked" sets
that's great everyone!! thanks so much.
if possible, could anyone offer up a quick tutorial ... ie, a desired workflow
... for using rendermaps. i went through the documentation and i think i'm now
familiar with all the attributes. however, now i can't seem to get the
rendermaps to look correct (like the renders prior to applying the rendermap
option). i have a simple scene where i have final gathering, reflection,
refraction and a 3 light system with one light casting a shadow.
thanks again, everyone

Great alias by the way (excuse the punn).
The feature you're looking for is called Rendermap. If you need explanation on
hwo to use it, let us know and we can probably send you a quick scene example
on how to apply it.

i'm moving over from maya to xsi and i've been trying to find a xsi equivalent
to baking textures. since i'm not familiar with the xsi terminology, i'm
finding it hard to search for what i want. for those who don't know, maya
baking is when you can save out texture information with shadow, lighting, GI,
FG, etc then reapply these textures shutting off these rendered attributes
(shadow, lighting, GI, FG, etc respectively) so as to save in rendering time.
can anyone help me out on a equivalent workflow? much appreciated if you can.
