How to change the scratch disk location of ZBrush

to change the scratch disk location you need to edit the path in the file ZBrushScratchDiskPath.txt in the folder C:\Users\Public\Documents\ZBrushData for windows or Users/Shared/ZBrushData for OSX.

ZBrush document size as default

to keep the changed document size as the default you need to hit the button, "Document > Save As Startup Doc"

fixing the issue that ZBrush Goz opens new maya scene everytime.

If you have the issue that zbrush Goz opens a new maya scene everytime, you just need to follow the below solution.

 copy "userSetup.mel" from C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZApps\Maya and paste to C:\Users\taegi\Documents\maya\2016.5\scripts.

Fixing surface normals:

Easy way to check surface normal problem and fix.

first, disable "two sided lighting" under Lighting tab in a view panel.
Any face colored in black will indicate surface normal problem.
If you enable "use default lighting", it will show you looking better.
To fix the problem you can select the face and hit the "reverse" under Normals.
that's it!

No more Dream giver!!!

Recently, I heard that Dream giver project was finished. Although, I couldn't finish it with others, I knew that they made a good movie at the end. To celebrate myself, I made this images. This work will be my last work with dream giver.

Good job All DG team!!!

Ground Vehicle: Turntable

Ground Vehicle from Jaetaek Hwang on Vimeo.

No HDRI,
No GI,
No final gathering.

Sometimes, using those rendering technologies make the final renders look in less quality.
I will say, "Simple is the best!"

Nuke: Z-depth

This is a screen shot showing how Nuke works with a sequence of Z-depth render with a beauty render. If you have two separated renders, beauty and z-depth, you need to plug the z-depth render into a z-channel with a shuttle or shuttle copy node. Then your sequence files will have rgba and z channel in one node to be good for z-blur node.
Green color - in focus, Blue - closer, Red - further.

Shading! Shading!

Shading is always fun, at the same time, it is really hard job.

During this work, I mostly focused on surface materials rather than painted textures.

I used Maya Mental ray as a renderer for this project. I really miss using renderMan.

RenderMan is still too expensive to use for personal purpose.

What is the best renderer? I will say,

RenderMan > Vray > Mental Ray.

That's right. I am using third best one now. Sad....

This modeling is done(?)

I like 3delight's point cloud occlusion. It is kind of simple(?) to use and is fast.
Moreover, it is just for free to use. 3delight offers users a free 2 thread license, which means that you can use only 2 cpus out of the total number of cpus you have in your computer system.

Modeling is fun, but it hurts my wrist. Am I too old? Dang it!

need color! color!

Daily Modeling No.2 TV

I used renderMan's point cloud for the Occlusion path. Used 3delight as a renderer.
let's make it colored.

beerbox shaded

I used Maya Mental ray with procedural shaders.
Sometimes, I feel that using only procedural shaders is much easier than using painted textures for texturing.
