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

Different colours in- and outside. Possible?

Hi again!
I wonder if it is possible to have different colours on let´s say
on a cylinders in- and outside without duplicate the cylinder.

I know you can switch the inside of objects off and do something to it. I did it a while ago so I can't really remember maybe it was called something like "backface culling" check the maya help.
But what stops you from just duplicating your cylinder?

good luck anyway

Hi!
The reason is that I´ve done a carachter for children that is
a cylinder with eyes, hat and mouth. The mouth is done by
projecting a curve on surface, so it´s just a hole and then I did
blendshapes on the curve. Works fine, but since it´s just a hole
it gets the same colour as the body. So if I could get the inside
black the mouth wold be more vissible.

If I understand you right I think the sollution might be quite easy. But you would have to convert to polys. Go to component mode and select faces. Now select the faces inside your mouth. Go to your hypershade create a new material right click on it and click assign material to selection.

hope it helped

Did´nt work. I guess I´m only a little lazy trying to avoid
doing it from scratch and duplicate the body(cylinder).
Trial and error is the word for today and tomorrow to I guess.

Thank´s anyway!:p
