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

Funny that I didn't notice until now that some of my textures are mirrored

Brian, are you forgetting you have it on your website?Originally posted by brian_ellebracht
actually, I did, here, but the post has been a while back, if you want I can attach an image of it on monday. I used it in some matchmoving shots for my demo. Most of them were far away shots, so it doesn't have as much detail. I made a blue angel version of it.

here, I'll save you the trouble

(too bad that the mp3 compression eats the precious phase information from the surround sound
)

The other thing that irks me is the fact that the animation is the same on all of them. It should be far more random and offset. there's no way three pilots could fly together in perfect formation without making any mistakes or without having differences in their flying styles. I would add some variation in there. For me the best shot is the last one when the three planes split off in different directions. Did you hand key that? I just think it carries more weight and feels more real.
The afterburner flames could do with some motion blur and being tighter and less cloud like. Currently they are too wispy and you can very definatley tell they are maya particles.
Sorry if I seem a little overcritical, but I know you do good work (from past stuff I've seen) and I know you wouldnt think I was being critical for the sake of it.
Hope this is of some help.
Alan
ps. It's better than a good/nice/excellent work, looking forwards to seeing more...
oh wait mainlinex will be along soon to say that :p

Anyway... let's see what I can come up with if I have the energy to do another round on all the shots. It just takes so bloody lot of time to even render this out... Plus if I change the animation, I have to change the compositions, re-do the sounds etc.... would be a chain reaction...
Btw, I've watched many movies with jets in them and I must say that most of them has very out-of-this-world physics
(Independence Day is a good example ). I know mine isn't perfect either but...And yes, the last shot is hand keyed...

I know what you're going through though. One of my shots took 11 re-renders (at film res!!)
