NEW Flame 2018.3 Update Training - Interoperability - Import Maya PBR Materials

[Grant.Kay]

Hi All,

I hope that you have had a great week in post and happy February!!!

A new video has been added to the 3D interoperability series which is available on the Flame Learning Channel.

This video shows you the workflow on how to create the PBR textures in Maya as opposed to Flame.   

So unlike the previous videos where the substance PBRs were created and applied in Flame before sending the FBX to Maya, part 4 will show you how to start in Maya 2018.1 and enable the ShaderFX materials and apply the StingrayPBS material to a model.

You can set the physical based properties like Roughness and Metallic and these will be applied to the Shader node when the FBX is imported into Flame.   You also have the ability to apply EXR images as textures maps that will embedded in the FBX and correctly applied in Flame.

Finally, this video continues the trend of maintaining a scene-linear workflow, so ensure you set both Flame and Maya to work in Scene-linear Rec709/sRGB.

You can check out this video in the playlist and more on the Flame Learning Channel.

or in Autodesk Learning on AREA.

Or you can download the videos via iTunes.

If you wish to follow along, you can use your own system or you can download the 30-day Flame trial.
