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

I think the light sabre would look better if it was not all chrome. Some matte finnished parts (perhaps the handle bits) and a textured button or two maybe.

Holy crap!! Thats awesome work, I can't wait to see him rigged and anitmated. When you painted the fave texture did you use a reference as a guide...how'd you do it? The only thing I can see that might need a little tweaking is the black on his face maybe having some spec to it. But I could be wrong as your renders are possible not your final lighting I take it??

Sorry but I have to say but your lightsabre handle is a little too organic, too much roundness dude!!! Sorry but I'm a big SW fan.
