Once You Have learned to Model Seamlessly

You need a way to show-off your work fully. Autodesk Showcase is a great product for doing that, but today I want to show you how you can do it simply in Alias 2010.

Firstly check surface normal orientation: >surf. edit>set surface< orientation

Set the model up as you wish to render it

Next remember to hide the;

  • model
  • constr. objects
  • lights
  • cameras
  • etc.

Close all windows & open Persp. Win

Now chose the  basic shader “Multi-Color” from the Diagnostic Shading Pallet

Expand the diagnostic window by hitting te drip down

Souble click “color” and set the rquired color

Set tolerance to 0.001

Select Accurate

Check Limit Edge Length set to 1.00

Typicals:

Specularity = 0.6

Transparency = 0.0

Light Intensity = 0.6

My Reflective Values Use Here Are:

Reflections = checked

Type = HALL

Reflectivity = 0.430

That Should Do It for the Settings!

Next :

>menu>windows display>Shading Anti_Alias and set to medium or high, if u have a fast machine

Wait a few seconds for the processor to apply the anti aliasing and then hit the Imprint Screen key

Paste it into Photoshop or Paint and save it out.

Here  I have Put the Glass and the black-out surfs. onto a separate layer. I hid the painted surfs. away and then applied a different color and transparency val.

Enjoy
