That Dude Totally Reminds Me Of

"The Office" x3

[seminolePP]

Such a pleasant guy, it must be quite an experience meeting him in real life, at least for maya users that is.

Alias was the best, Autodesk load of sh**t

[plodej]

Heh, Alias was a ridiculously amazing company to work for. Autodesk, not so much. Nice to see the "old" office with Duncan:) Memories....ehhh...

yeah - I get render layers... I just don't know how you can assign the ocean foam to it's own layer...

[Hielorapido]

Ok, i try to help you because i don't speak to much English, but you can do it if you have Maya 2009 you can go to the layer part and then select the ocean and on the layer select (occlusion and the others tools. Just i can tell you which is the tool you can use. But i don't use that layers to much, because i am 3d animator but just in Computer Graphics.

Hope you can understand me.

[n8skow]

um, how?

[Hielorapido]

Yes you can.

[goodvibrato]

That looks like a cool place to work.

[n8skow]

Is it possible to render the ocean foam on a seperate render layer from the blue diffuse?
