As silly as it sounds, I JUST learned about playblasts and my life was changed. In college, we rendered everything, which was a nightmare as some of my assignments took 30+ hours to render, but most of what we did in Maya was modeling and texturing. But I'd see playblasts on reels and didn't know what they were or how to make one, but figuring out all the settings was an adventure of trial and error. This is so helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for another great video. There is a great way go get a much bigger FPS counter on screen. Make a text element and in the attribute editor change it to fps mode or something similar I don't recall exactly what is was called not in Maya atm. And it will show a counter in the font style of you choosing and size etc.

Thanks for making this video! Like all your content, it was so helpful. Please keep making it. When I playblasted using 'from render settings' option, it still could give different resolution from the render settings. Even if it's written 1920x1080 in your playblast, you can make sure it by right clicking playblast file and go to properties, I don't know why it might give different size. So I end up turning on 'Render Offscreen' this whole time to solve this problem. I'd like to change my default player to quick time before playblasting, so it will autoplay after playblast without problem. And to add this up, quick time player can't read our last frame! So becareful if some of you were confused why last frame in quicktime are'nt same with what you see in viewport. This could be annoying when you are working with supervisor or director who don't understand this technical problem and keep asking for last frame (because I've been there before). I highly recommend RV player to get out from this problem.

Just an advise..., you don't need to mess up with overscan settings and all that stuff in order to get a full screen playblast. You JUST have to deactivate the resolution gate mask, and playblast will be at full screen, that's all you have to do! :)

I’ve never bothered with a full render with my animations. I feel it takes too long and time to make it compared to what you get time-wise out of a well-done and well-lit playblast. After all, it’s the animation that counts more than anything, and while lighting and textures and so on are important for a scene depending on what you’re showing, it doesn’t have to be like the cinematic quality we see in final renders to get the message across. If you have a decent GPU and turn on anti-aliasing with shadows and ambient occlusion, the quality I feel is good enough

@mail2onkar 4 жыл бұрын

Exactly.. I was struggling for it last week. Was not able to get good result and it was going to take so much time. Finally I discovered that even playblast could look really good if we keep the settings right with even basic arnold lights. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLGPipWlr86tZJs.html

@prajakta3921 4 жыл бұрын

same! i use the method too but instead of online converters, i import the image sequence in blender and render it. its so effective, it certainly looks like a good quality render. also, i change the playback to play every frame mode otherwise it skips some frames in the image sequence.

I wish I could use QuickTime but I'm on Windows 10 and I was advised not to. Some vulnerabilities were discovered several months after Apple announced support end for QT on Windows. The situation has not changed, and it's likely that new vulnerabilities may have been discovered. If you run QT on a Windows PC, that PC becomes vulnerable and attackers may exploit those security vulnerabilities.

@TrollmanLOL 4 жыл бұрын

Well not really... I mean if you could be very skilled in all of thoses then yes, you could apply to all kinds of jobs... But in reality the industry usually asks for a very specific profile, and when you work on everything at the same time you often end up with some "ok" skills everywhere instead of being very good in one particular job. That being said, usually smaller companies hire people with multiple skills because they can't afford multiple people for each job. So in the end it depends where you aim at working, your capacity to learn and be good at what you do. Though I think you will always be better in a skill you 100% focus on rather than doing multiple things at once.

...Playblast lighting is the biggest issue for me. If Autodesk could just make lights able to ignore certain objects (ex: lighting a prop/but not having that light affect the Character), it'd be near-perfect. We've had Autodesk attempt to make this change but they came back saying they couldn't. It was dead-easy to do in Softimage. Maya's bloated by comparison...
