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

Cheers guys

I have the scene for the soldiers ready, just needs a few hours tweaking the lighting before I stick them in which will be for pages 10 and 11.

Need to get back to the girl and finish her off as well.

To both of your questions, there will be no 'wheels' in this room.

It's an underground section of the main building on the first shot. The guards will be...er guarding the door to the far left, and beyond that door is...a set I haven't built yet

Cheers all
