UV Mapping Pass in Vray for Nuke

Separate files will need to be created prior to final render. Turn off all linear workflow tricks and set the file to be 32bit.

UV Mapping Pass in Vray for Maya

Nuke Camera Animation to Maya

So I just tested this script and it works well. Important to note, Nuke artist should set up the camera to match the footage so that when it jumps over to Maya it is all in Sync.

Creative Crash Script

Displacement 50% grey - No touchy!

Displacement mapping should be simple enough. Used a 4092 texture map at 50% grey for base, 16bit & 8bit. Followed this tutorial http://mayazest.blogspot.sg/2012/03/simple-displacement-mapping-in-v-ray.html and tried -0.5 for displacement shift which gave a worse off result. 

Can't seem to have 50% grey leave the geometry alone. Why?

Vray Extrapolation

Was hoping that vray extrapolation was the equivalent of the MR EnvBlur. This is not the case. Listed as never to use this in an animation as it may cause flickering issues.

Vray Physical Camera

We have been texturing and lighting in a file with Vray Physical Camera with Movie Camera setting. This provided a way richer result as compared to Still Animation Camera.

Posted this question on the forums, awaiting reply.

Matching Vray camera to an actual physical camera

Was trying to find a way to keep the Vray Physical Attribute field of view similar to Maya's own camera to prevent issues. Turns out, there is an option to take the focal length info from Maya's own settings. Problem solved.

Stumbled on this while I was trolling. Good stuff for future use.

Outliner Missing?

If your outliner is ever stuck in the second (now non-existent monitor) use this and it will snap it to the top left of your main screen.
