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

The Beach House

Here is a scene I redid. I think it's much better than the original. C&C welcome.

Looks really nice. The only thing that looks weird is the sand, it looks really hard.

good job!

aside from the issues already mentioned, the colors are looking way too saturated - especially the roof and leaves. you rarely see colors that are that strong in real life - especially in a beach scene where the colors would be faded from the sun. knocking back the colors will really help integrate this scene. Nothing is ever purely one color... unless its paint. user added image

Thanks for the crits guys. Unfortunately my pc died on me and I didn't back everything up so I can't make any changes to it. I'm done with Microsoft at this point.
