Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

My issue is pissing me off so badly.....


i'm modeling this car and am currently birailing the fender surfaces......

select -r curve3detachedCurve2detachedCurve4detachedCurve2 ;
select -tgl curve21detachedCurve4 ;
select -tgl curve16detachedCurve2detachedCurve4 ;
select -tgl curve22detachedCurve4 ;
select -tgl curve19 ;
select -tgl duplicatedCurve2 ;
select -tgl duplicatedCurve1 ;
{ string $Selection1[]; $Selection1[0] = "curve3detachedCurve2detachedCurve4detachedCurveSh ape2"; $Selection1[1] = "curve21detachedCurveShape4"; $Selection1[2] = "curve16detachedCurve2detachedCurveShape4"; $Selection1[3] = "curve22detachedCurveShape4"; $Selection1[4] = "curveShape19";
string $Selection2[]; $Selection2[0] = "curve3detachedCurve2detachedCurve4detachedCurveSh ape2"; $Selection2[1] = "curve21detachedCurveShape4"; $Selection2[2] = "curve16detachedCurve2detachedCurveShape4"; $Selection2[3] = "curve22detachedCurveShape4"; $Selection2[4] = "curveShape19"; $Selection2[5] = "duplicatedCurveShape2"; $Selection2[6] = "duplicatedCurveShape1";
performBirail 0 3 `currentCtx`; };
multiProfileBirailSurface -tp2 0 -ch 0 -po 0 -tm 1 -tp1 0 curve3detachedCurve2detachedCurve4detachedCurve2 curve21detachedCurve4 curve16detachedCurve2detachedCurve4 curve22detachedCurve4 curve19 duplicatedCurve2 duplicatedCurve1 ;

use Snap to Curve and then just run through the intersections again,.,, should solve it, otherwise, i think its the history....

yea i know..snap to curves....

i was wondering if there was a more efficient way of snapping points to the curves...because not all cv's lie on the path of a curve...so sometimes snapping a cv to a curve doesnt' actually snap it to the curve.....


nurbs is very frustrating.......user added image
