QUESTION ON TEXTURING

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

quick sheet:

Polygons- Best choice use UV maping
SubD- Works ok with IV maping but best to convert to poly for texture then back to SubD
Nurbs- your Shit out of Luck unless you want to do your nudges in photoshop or pick up deep paint 3d.

UV mapping means maya takes all the vertices of a polygon object (their called 'UVs' once you UV map) and it lays them flat so that you can paint/apply a flat texture on. Once you have your texture on it, it takes that and re-wraps it around the object; giving your object texture. The really fun (and by fun I mean horrific) part about UV texturing is stitching all of the UVs together so that there isnt a seam.
