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

Hello joopson,

I like the texturing, z-brush maybe?

Are you going to have it as part of a scene? Without some sort of background or colour it's a little ambiguous as to what it is.

Take it easy,

Mat.

Looks good, but like Happymat said it really needs an environment to go in.

What about putting a "mouth" or "ear hole" on it in the middle of the dish thing, or some paint effets/hair as tentacles??

Just a thought

well, i am using maxwell render, which does not support painteffects, and this model is made to "watch" you going through a base on pluto, they try to follow you inconspicuosly(spelled wrong?) and if they notice you, they use ultrasonic sound to summun nearby creatures. so they dont need a mouthuser added image

I like what you have done so far joopson - well done. I think that your model could definitely use a bit more work - some more details to tie it into what you have written about your idea. I really like the fact that you have put a lot of thought into how this sentry operates - a lot of people, myself included, just create stuff cos it looks cool, without fleshing out a backstory to give their project authenticity - I think that this could be an interesting project. Keep up the good work.
