[xanvinhduong]

have a question I was using mental ray to do batch rendering because I don’t want sharp edges; however, Premiere, After Effect, or Photoshop can’t recognize the tiff, targa, jpeg, or any other formats. please help, thanks

[StudioGoldsmith]

@xanvinhduong After effects since CS3 should recognize .tiff files and sequences. You have to put an underline after the render name, and add frame padding in Maya render options so that after effects understands that it is a sequence. One of the .tiff frames should look like this "project name_0001" the 000 being the frame padding.

[psycronicx]

LOL... i've been watching this for many times, and always make me laugh at the end :D

masterzap rocks!!

[cyther39]

Awesome work!! i'm laughing my ass off all though out the video, esp at the end when optimous guy failed to transform LOL!

[MrFiendster]

hahahahaha

[eleszar1]

DONT WATCH IT ALL ITS THE TAPE FROM THE RING!!! U WILL DIE IN SEVEN DAYS!

[SRicK91]

Transformer fail xD

Funy dance animation, width good rendering! (and cool music :P)

[ErikRicardoLC]

@SRicK91 You don't know a shit of CGI, right?

[SRicK91]

@ErikRicardoLC No..

But i know that it was a lot of work to make this video.

And it's a gOod video, i like it!

(3:20 - Transformer fail..xD I still can laugh on it.)

[ErikRicardoLC]

@SRicK91 The man who made this video is a legend, he's like Chuck Norris from CGI shaders. When he was very young he built with his very own hands a graphic card.

[AGSystem27]

Where is the name of the music!!

[sonitekca]

there dance moves are superb. and the shader's provided by mental images are very good.

[AGSystem27]

why in all 3D videos must appear a teapot? WHY!!

[Gamezonemachinima]

@AGSystem27 its the perfect model example curves polygons shadow's perfect test model betetr just a simple box

[Budhabe]

@AGSystem27 It's a standerd model in 3dsmax

[xXxAshersxXx]

awesome work.

[repawnd]

haha, that is great to watch, although I'm actually supposed to be looking for tutorials on mental ray (been using vray for 4 years now).

[VEGETADTX]

I don't understand how can somebody claim that VRay is much more photo-realistic than Mental Ray.

I understand that it all depends first of all of artist, second - of the composition, materials, textures, displacements and similar stuff, but lets imagine the same exact scene being rendered first with Mental Ray and then with Vray, I personally(without disrespect to Vray) claim that Mental Ray simply gives much more realistic results(and I've tested it myself).

[Galirouslan]

GG and 3:21 LOL rolf

[mansoor619]

@Galirouslan lol

[Galirouslan]

@mansoor619 yeah I know , FAIL !

[mansoor619]

@Galirouslan well loved his confidence:P

[Galirouslan]

@mansoor619 me too so much :D

[orion5175]

does anyone know of a fairly effective program that can put an image format onto youtube without it looking grainy or shot with a cell phone camera?

camera.I have clip samples on my page to show

[Safegold008]

You're belwo!

[vrshowdown]

lol it would look so cool if that dancing robot was on pf track that animation  looks super real

[DihCpsPsy]

magnifico! VERY GOOD :]

[Blayzeing]

brilliant. Utter brilliance.

I must say that you did the one thing that every animator strives to do the most: make the charactars as real as possable. So real that you think of them not as virtual elements, or even robots. But as real people.

Once again, Brilliant.

[oDannyMitchello]

You do know he didnt animate them ?

[Blayzeing]

drat.

[Blayzeing]

oh well, its to who ever did animate them

[anim8ordude]

It's actually motion captured. Animation captured from real life people's movements.

[Blayzeing]

@anim8ordude nice, I've looked into that a tad, very interessting.....

[Sjegeje]

Brilliant production :)

[drazapatos]

THAT my friend its INCREDIBLE THE most impresive shader was the truck on the puddle and the robot on the sphere TY 5 STARS

[Darkdragon152008]

Lol @ End

[enoxum]

I am doing pictuers in 3d max 2009.

[enoxum]

how to do you do rendening in animations I only know how to make rendered pictures ?

[DOC7777777777]

The same way, but when rendering animations, you have to render each frame individually. lol.

[akiracon]

Hahaha!!

[Failer2]

Nice video =D I like it

[urbis92]

i cant believe my eyes O.O

[Leadman1989]

this proves one thing robots can't dance

[lkabird]

awesome work

[josue24081983]

THIS WORK REALY INCREIBLE...

[MeuMundoAqui]

He He Hei... Mô Legal... Adorei. Muito criativo e bem feito. Nota 10.

[Epsand]

BOOOOOOOM!!!! mWUAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[mikeandbobule]

wtf??!!!??

[anim8ordude]

Mental Ray OWNS! They used it in the Matrix.

[nikelio86]

Nice nice Work! :D

[ollieflp]

Hi i want to get into animation what where is the best place to get maya or 3dmax and which versions?

[Blahhhhhhhhh]

first choose which industry you want to get into, both can achieve the similar results. Culturally maya is used for films, max is used for games and architectural visualization. There is cross over though.

[TeachYourselfOSX]

Maya is still the best for this type of thing.

Once you've learnt it you'll be able to do anything. I LOVE it to bits!!

Anyone looking to do better facial expression, order yourself a copy of ZBrush (now on osx)

[023nick]

hehe supreme commander dancing:P

i'm hoping to create such things as this.

Nice Work!

[drag0nmind]

It's so realistic!

[Pullefjun]

this is awesome

[hale992]

messed the first transformers legs up a little bit (went through each other) nether less very very good

[discojih4d]

now THATS a supreme commander hahaha

[JonaGN]

transformers ftw

[pavilonz]

i nvever can do that... :D this is awesome

[Fedest3dcreative]

the hdri can be faked but i thinks VFX supervisor took them on set, everything can be divided in pass(shadows, color,reflections, lights, spec and so on)than composited maybe(shake,nuke,fusion) .

THIS IS A DEMO find out the power looking at example for VFS VFX all guys after 1 year school with maya!!!!!!!!!!!!

[qazwsxedcrfvgfdsa]

i have two questions :

NR 1 what is the name of the song ?

NR 2 how do you make the reflections on the objects ? pls respond

[markous57]

I am new to maya. Can anyone please tell me how to cast shadows over video?

[spider853]

Sorry World )))

[spider853]

Nice word interaction!

[iSOBigD]

Very cool. I'd love to get some SupCom models out of the game too.

I'm gonna go try out these hidden shaders right now.

[vofff]

shit nice shaders and render

[new2lw]

last part is very funny, show us how to dance optimus.

[SteeL2150]

superb Render + super rigging + super anime anatomy work, Maya ROX

[Baroz000]

AWESOOMME !!!

[dsuikastp]

YESYES!!! supreme commander::D:D:D UEF!!!

[spiralgear]

who is this by, the song is awsome

also i heard blender is getting a plug in for the stand alone mentalray, does tht mean blender could output this kind of quality render?

[aaron1a12]

[in shock] ...beautiful. Good inspiration for a showcase

[barrovirtual]

very very nice rendering!

Congrats!

[gauravarora2787]

very nice!!

[gauravarora2787]

very nice!!!

[destiny122255]

i use xsi

[TheTeamattack]

Sh...just dancing robots ?uh

[TNTWebPage]

were did u get that hdri?

[stokmarknes]

really smooth movements on the bots, aswell as the nice reflection on the chrome spheres. Althoug I saw some collision problems on the purple dancing robot, it's a bitch to fix;)

[nitrospeed]

this is all good man, Im still new at the maya stuff trying to learn lol i know the basics but its time to go up i found some tutorials but the only problem is there 9 hours lol and i get bored really easy watching or listening so if i do practical ill be having more fun:). keep it up lol. Transformers looking good some dude i know is trying to make one but his no where close.

[nitrospeed]

[slackdave]

haha, there's even some jumpstyle in there!! Shading of the floor, I don't get it.. The floor is part of some live footage isn't it?

[spamarama4u]

Looks amazing !

[sixpackdragon]

if you made this by yerself that is awesome. The supreme commander model looks exactly like the one in the game. The mazda transformer was cool 2.

[jakerismitology]

Hahahaha, was that the Hulk in there?

[empichao]

those robots dacing look really weird

[tubilar111]

dam. i hate Maya

[dekuie]

As far as the information on this page goes, this reel could have been made with either, as they both use mental ray, and the title says max/maya, perhaps it even was made with max as it is mentioned before maya.

[yozzy1]

The poster of this video is not the guy that posted it to youtube, Mental images published this.... the guys that make mental ray

[yozzy1]

Hi

Supreme Commander - UEF ACU built to perfection, but more human like, realistic movement,

Anyway, i am Just excited about this 3D thing, i am a programmer and i know nothing about 3D (YET), but i think it is one hobby that has no time overhead coz i can play it right at my computer, the fact that got me so excited is how realistic mental ray renders can get.

If you are just testing shades, i wonder what your production quality looks like !

Damn the 500 char limit !

[mentalraystuff]

The UEF ACU is "built to perfection" for a very simple reason: I was lent the 3D model by Gas Powered Games. So it *is* the original real one.

[bogieman987]

@mentalraystuff I love it when its dancing, ide love to see that in SupCom lol, victory dance maybe lol

[ColdOneK]

How long did that take to render, that was awesome!

[lankmank]

Master Zap Pwns

[Tronoid]

do you made the UEF ACU 3d model yourself ? O_O

amazing job ;)

( do you know where I can find the UEF ACU 3d model :P ? )

[grimreaper423]

some look like real life

[Ba3dadBoy]

Haha the rigging is pretty good mate. THe movement of the robots is really realistic. GOod work

[zombiemusic]

that is great. have you got any tutorials?

[Lunnep]

The truck in the end can teach you some moves :P

[TheApostleVideo]

those mechs have some moves!

they should put together a dance video to teach me a thing or two :-P

[kamihakai]

so you've used maya 2008, i got 8.5, how is maya 2008 talking about the hair render in mentalray??, and what about the speed render??, Does is really worth it??

[Finalkfka]

Liked the one at the end! XDXD

"Yeh, yeh, yyeeaagh...POW!......Oh, crap..."

XDXDXDXD

[kamihakai]

which software did u use to put the 3d objets into realword photos and tapes?

[Auroron]

Look at the end: The mental ray "production" library is intended to simplify the workflow of integrating CG objects into the real-world scenes.

[krone03]

Some of those dance moves look like LowerMyBills. Maybe you got the same mocap files?

[akindegerli]

ooo:) perfect!

[Liam2020]

AHAHAHHHAHA!! so fucking funny!!!

[Gqgangsterz10]

the reflection on that sphere is fuckin amazing i <3 mental ray

[ffoecaf2006]

so how's Maya 2008 different from 8.5?

[Rawforce30]

Maya 2008 improves the workflow, making better and faster polygon and nurbs creation tools, faster renders, etc.

[ironpiping]

And as far as I know, you can now render hardware particles in mental ray :D

[xragecagex]

cool.

[cake89]

the optimus prime transformation was so funny!

[HardC]

I guess i'm the first to ask;

What the hell is up with all the chromespheres man?

[JepMaster8]

Its a test for the new shader for the upcoming releases of max & maya 2008.

[Rawforce30]

hahahahahahah i love how they're just dancing for no reason on unusual places xDDD very good job man.

[BannedIP]

very Cool, especial that RX8

[nore3dsmax]

which the name of the song???

[ponchato]

lawl @ the UEF ACU

[musetavern]

I'm still using Maya 7.

This is definitely a reason to upgrade.

Its interesting though... I don't care as much about the Autodesk upgrades to Maya as I do about mental images' upgrades to mental ray. Weird.
