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

Thank You!

i would like to thank you guys at simply maya for the free video training section. i have learned more from this website than when i was at Alfred State College for Computer Graphics & Design. Not only did i waste money the teacher weren't very good and i am happy that i found this site and i thought i would thank you guys!!


once i get my next pay check I'm going to invest in the Dragon Tutorials




Also you guys need to crack down on Torrents because your dvds are floating around out there :/

Kurt Boutilier is one of the best Maya experts, if not THE best!!

"All right..." - one of his best lines...

hahaha i don't think many people would get the osu reference...

i almost went there, but was deterred by a visit that showed that there was mainly one-way streets and never enough parking... even on campus. even with the whole 'ohio resident' discount i was like... nah.




ahem. back on topic, yea i joined for the tuts originally too, but then found that the forum had a great community feel to it.

yea I thought they wouldnt know what i meant. although I thought id give it a shot since everyone's so into the football team and all.
I actually went to OSU for a quarter but didnt like it at all cause of personal reasons. So I decided to stay close to home and study at CSU which I think is a lot better but one of the things kinda disappointing is that they have nothing with animation. OSU actually had couple really nice courses on that but they only used cinema 4d from what i heard. So I emailed some art teachers around here and they said mostly acron and cleveland institute of art had courses but there could be more not sure. Btw, out of curiousity did you get that animation degree(based from your profile) in ohio or did u get that somewhere else?
