This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Apples 'Gel' Style
I'm really struggling to mimic the 'gel style' apple use on there website. (see attached)
I've modelled the objects but I am having real problems with lighting and the shader. I'm using the PhongE shader and for lighting I'm using 2 directional lights
Has anybody tried to recreate this style in 3D space?
Any help will be much appreciated
Cheers
Wayne

then you right click and hold on the model and go to materials>assign new materials>Dielectric_material
now the model should turn green.... go to the render globals window...(windows>rendering editors>render globals(or render settings, if using maya 7)) and go to the Render Using dropdown menu in that window, and select Mental Ray.... go to the mental ray tab and go to the tab that says Final Gather, and turn that on, and change final gather rays to around 300(i normally use 1024, but that can take a few minutes to render). go down to the thing that says image based lighting, and click Create, and the attribute editor should come up, now you browse for your HDRI map( https://www.debevec.org/Probes/ has alot of HDRI maps)
Then, click the model, rightclick and hold, go to materials>material attributes, attribute editor should come up, change the col to a very light blue(almost white)
change the lor to around .645, change the col_out to a slightly darker blue... and change lor_out to .066
also change Phong_Coef to 52.892
if this didnt work completely, just tell me
and render, you should get something close to this....
