I downloaded the sample file but it is missing 2 files : D:/WORK/Training/MtoA 507 - XGen Fur/MAYA//assets/mask_clump.iff D:/WORK/Resources/Assets/HDRi/Real Texture/paris_bridge2_pano.tx I will swap out a new HDRI. Is the mask_clump important to the project?

Arvid Schneider

You can use any other hdri for this. And the clump map is just a map you can paint using xgen. Should be fairly simple. Thanks

Arvid Schneider

Let me know if this does not work for you. And I can try to help you out

Hi Arvid, I've learned a lot with your lessons on You Tube. I really need to pay something for you on Patreon and I will. I would like to get the Private Lesson option but first I have some questions. How much class time in the month will I be entitled to in this package? I have an animation studio and I have a lots of jobs during the mouth, so I don't know what time will be great to seat and chat with you. How do you manage this? What is the difference between Advice and Training and Private Lesson? Thanks.

Arvid Schneider

Hi Sergio, thanks for reaching out! Depending on how technical and advanced your issue is, we will tackle the problem together until we solve it. So if you have problem A the private lesson will go as long until we solved the issues. there is no real schedule to it. For the Advice and Training will grant you 1h, where I wll give advice and try to direct you in the right direction.

Sergio Filho

Nice, Arvid. Thanks for the answer. I'm very curious to know those little tricks that you use in great movies, like Jungle Book. I want to get to that level, but I think I'm not so far, thanks to your lessons. I'll start at Career Advice for VFX. Please let me know when we can start. Thanks a lot!

I have made a first viewing of the video and it seems fantastic, tomorrow I´ ll start to try a scene made by me. Sorry, when you say: "ACCESS to resources like the model and reference image become a Patron here:". Does it mean that we can access this scene with the model and the fur? Where can I find the link? Thank you very much for your attention.

Arvid Schneider

Hey Josep, yes you will get access to the full maya scene. I will post the link in a new post. You should see it if you are a Patron for source files
