3DS-Max - How to clone an object/animation along spline
Hi (if anyone is there) <_< !
Today, while working on a project, I have encountered an issue while thinking to clone an object along the spline/shape.

Ambient Occlusion in Vray

Creating a Shadow-only Light in 3ds MAX
Found this good tip from Chris Arlt about creating SHADOW ONLY LIGHTS.
Now this is some kick-ass discovery (though it might be buggy for certain settings!)
For a nice light setup, it can be a nice option to create a (non-v-ray-) light that only makes shadows but no light.This is how it works:
- Set up a light source you like to use (standard or photometric).- Enable "Shadows" for this light source.- set the light's color to black. This will prevent brightening up your scene.- set the shadow color to white. This will create the shadow in general.- set the shadow density to -1.0 (or something else below 0.0 to fine-tune). This is the key to the black shadow.

"ILLUSIONS ARE REALITY"
Finally,Thinking year after year, month by month,here I am with my blog.
I am CG artist/MotionGraphicArtist/VFXartist! and basically none of these (haa..I know a bit of all but not an expert, thriving to be one).
Based in India, I am a working professional now and it's been a year.Have a Engineering Degree with honors (tell me about that, no use in general 0.o) and an advanced diploma in VFX and 3D.
I love to play with 3dsMax, Cinema4D and After effects.FumeFx, Rayfire, blah blah blah...I love it all as a learner.
Here I will try to show-off my skills ("ohh..yeah as he got few -__-") on time to time basis.May be some tutorials, maybe some tricks which I have learned...
