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

Having problems getting 'feel'
I spent the first day doing an outer level going off Mike's piccy's, but when I checked the day after - It looked like a vlatant rip off of the pictures posted. - So I threw that scene away.
So I spent yesterday trying to create another outdoor area, but I still seem to run into problems.
I don't want to copy the images that Mike put up, just to get the 'feel' of them... But once I started, as you can see the resulting scene looks like it could have been a church in a WW2 game...!
Not as if it would fit into Unreal.
OK I now see that putting a 'fence' type railing is probably the worst thing I could put on there, but please can you give me some other pointers on how I could 'Bash' this back into shape and make it have more of the 'feel' of the original shots?
If not then it's Outdoor MK3
Cheers Scraggy

Need Inspiration !!!!
I just can't get the 'hang' of this style ..... Don't get me wrong I'm enjoying every minute, but it is frustrating, must be like that in the job but 100x worse when your not 'into' the subject you are creating.......
Please keep the comments coming thick and fast... I need Inspiring people.... (Maybe I should go play Unreal for a while)...
Cheers Scraggy.....

Call me old fashioned.....
I would still like some comments regarding what to/not do... In regards to the last picture... It does NOT look as if it would fit with the Posted piccy's ... I agree with HappyLemon about the Blocky thing... Is there anything else someone can help me with......?

Problemo....
I tried deleting some of the 'inside' err un-viewable quads/poly's w/ever This brought me this problem.... I wondered which is the best way of making a plane at the base of the 8 sides... But I have to make a hole in the centre to allow Ladder access....?
I tried messing with the Tool Options and am sure it's the answer but....Cannot suss it out... [I mean work it out]
I have highlit? edges.
Hmmm OK Forget that... Because that model has dissapeared totally, and all that is left is the stairs and pipes
This has happened a couple of times... where a piece out of the scene has disappeared....? Any Ideas? I have looked in outliner etc... Nope... not there...! I sit maybe because I didn't delete History ????
I'm confused...
