The Ink n’ Paint shader in 3dsmax 5 is my best buddy when it comes to making graphics for shirt clients. I’ve always noticed these little jagged edges in the lines though. I always thought they looked kind of cool and add a little something to it so it doesn’t look so computerish. One of my clients though, wants them out. I’m thinking, “simple.” Well… I don’t see any settings in 3dsmax to fix this and I most certainly don’t want to get Photoshop crazy because theres a lot of graphics and a lot of fixes on all of them.
We all know how deep 3dsmax goes, so I have to be missing something, don’t I?
Comes standard with 3dsmax 5 and above… Or did you mean where in 3dsmax? Go to the materials editor, and click on the button that says “Standard” which is below the materials preview and above the material parameters. Click on Ink n’ Paint. Theres a lot of settings in there, but generally I like to change the shader color to the background color for that line art effect. (Great for websites. It looks cool, clean, and you can probably do it as a .gif with 10 or so colors)
Yes, yes it does take a long time to render. My client was like, “thats such a sick model, its a shame to just waste it on a t-shirt. Lets make an animation that zooms around it and swap it out at the beginning of that bmx video!”
16 hours and counting… No pay… Makes me want to cry. At least I didn’t have to animate the arms and tables.
So erm, this thread kind of went off on a tangent. I still am having that render problem I showed a pic of the 3rd post. How do I fix it just by rerendering and not doing it by hand in Photoshop?
Soulty, that is a rendered version. Do you mean a higher res version? I have a copy at 2048x1536 meant to go on a shirt. Coolest part is, my school clothes shopping is done because I’m getting like 456745675674567856724 free shirts from all my clients, with MY art on it! sweet!
i actually meant a rendered version using default render (so you can see the shaded polys), not the ink’n’paint render. look sweet at the moment though, nice that you are getting free return from the clients, gotta love freebies :beam:
That fly through JUST finished like a few minutes ago. 8 hour render on 2.8ghz w/ tricked out everything… phew… The render is totally uncompressed now, but I can run it through premiere and get an mpeg up. Prob be about 30 min.
erm… this is just not my day. Got it in quicktime or avi, but uhm, front page isn’t accepting these basic file formats. New problems! Yes! I’ve uploaded video before… That was ages ago though. I’ll have to figure this out unless someone knows the answer.
whyyyyy… its still doing it. even with a zip file. the error msg says

I think this calls for kaptain kirupa. I searched the web a little, still looking, but no solution in sight.
is it me being naive or could u have just done those in Illustrator? The 3d aspect looks amazing but couldn’t u use a perspective techinique in AI to get the same effect? (i mean for the tshirt by the way)
