Back Hello, everyone I am new to this mailing list and I am glad to be part of it. Now to cut to the chase. I have two questions.
First - I wondering how you can do a mechanical joint movement in XSI as in a robot or something of that nature. If I just apply bones and envelope and bend it will create a bend which is not common in mechanical things. So how do you go about doing this?
Second - I come from another animation package which it's textures channels like color and diffuse are seperate channels. I noticed that in alot of examples\tutorials i've seen they always plug it into both the diffuse and ambient. Does Mental Ray know how to calcuate the diffusion of a surface or am I doing something wrong if I am trying to create a dirty surface look. I saw that Ed harris created a seperate texture with alpha to make the surface dirty is this how you do it? Or is there another way?
Thank You
