Renderman For Maya Issues

[geecee]

Hi, I've just got the DT RMF DVD - highly recommended! - but, I'm unsure of setting up the project file structure as the DT Renderman Project Files differ to the default Maya structure.

Is there any specific way a project should be set up to cater for rendernan and differently than you would do with a regualr Maya project? Sorry, hope this isn't a dumb question!

cheers

It will recognize the Maya project but when you hit render, renderman will create folders it needs that will hold compiled shaders, textures and other maps needed for the final render. If you are going to be sharing these maps then I would recommend you place your project on a network drive.

Other than that RM will take care of any directories it needs at render time or batch.

Glad you liked the kit. We will have more free lessons next week to highlight some of the new features of 1.2

Thanks Papa!

I really like this DVD and look forward to the next one. Cheers Glenn
