cg sphere set-up

[the_black_mage]

Ok I'm working on an A:M version of the required setup of cgsphere.com but i can't get it right heres what i mean.

 

[attachmentid=22932]

 

this is what i have now.

 

[attachmentid=22933]

 

this is what i need, witch is also mixed in with the render to show the difference. the guy who made cg sphere wants it a minimum of 95% close, can any one help me.

Here is the camera's setup in 3ds max, may be help to fix your scene:

 

Camera: lens=48, FOV=41,112

 

far range: 1000

DOF: 160

focal depth:100

 

Good luck

and what us fov...field of view?

Okay... I had a look at it... I think it is a bit nearer to the template:

Basicly I used a projection-map (spherical of course) with a bitmap and I used z-shadows to get a more blurred shadow.

 

I cant figure out, why your "ground" doesnt seem to be textured right... here it seems to be okay.

-> Get the projectfile

[the_black_mage]

its perfect!!!!!!!!!!

 

[attachmentid=22936]

the template is fused with the render, note the layers shadow.

 

also, fuchur i think your version is higher than mine, mines is version 12.

[Fuchur]

Yes it is made with v13, newest version available...

Were you able to open the file?

i got it open but your grid is streched on the plane, I started to make the temp and got good results but my wife miss carried our first baby so time have been hard here. I will see what I can do here getting that corrected.

[the_black_mage]

[the_black_mage]

unfortunately he not ok with it yet, all i need to do is lower the hight of the decal. it should be done soon (as in hours mabe).

[the_black_mage]

You just have to adjust the "repeat"-value of your projection-map.

 

That should be okay for you too.

well i only have v11-12 no less...

[the_black_mage]

hmmmm, i can't figure it out, i have no idea whats wrong with the grid.... the plane is perfect(imported as an obj, only the sphere was changed). but notice how one of the lines is in place and others seem not to match.... perfaps it might be better if some one else did it.....

Hey Mage..

 

try this.. it'll get it perfect and he'll never know.

 

See if you can get a hirez shot of just the background grid. Then use that as your camera rotoscope (ie. backdrop.

 

Then set up a plane as a reciever for the front projection and voila.. you'll get shadows and the background grid will be perfect.

[the_black_mage]

yeah but it has to be accessible to others, some people put objects other than spheres on the plane.

[cfree68f]

the way I said will allow any object on the plane. It should be accessible to anyone using any version of AM.
