I teach a college level class in Seattle on digital 3d design. Is there anyone in Seattle that uses Cinema 4d professionally that might be interested in showing their work and/or skills to the class? rock on halt

Anyone know how to get the render window to overlay multiple renderings in Mental Ray using 3ds Max 2008? After rendering a view if I render a "Region" the rest of the image goes black. It works the way I want in the default renderer and vRay but not in MR. Anyone? Bueller? Thanks! Halt

Does anyone know why vraysky is missing? (see attached image) I'm using 3dsMax 9 on a PC with vRay 1.5. Thanks! rockin'in08

...first post ever to cgarch I think...cool portal... ...makin' me want to be a cg artist which I ain't. I've found a unique (secret) way to add color to an AutoCAD drawing using Flash. It's quick and easy but there is a limitation - no line thicknesses from AutoCAD. The cool thing is that it's not a bitmap. It retains some of it's raster properties and adding color under the CAD file works great. Any interest in this? If so here's how; in AutoCAD it's the command 'wmfout'. First you need to prepare the drawing in AutoCAD. To create a traditional black-line-on-white-paper drawing change the background color to white and the all lines to black. Then type wmfout, select all the entities and save it as file. Then import the wmf file into Flash. In Flash put the wmf file on a separate layer and lock it. Create a new layer underneath the AutoCAD layer. Add color using the easy Flash drawing tools. It's pretty cool and can be exported at highres. Works with Word and Freehand too. Hope that all makes sense to someone out there. ...probably too long a post...i'll work on that...
