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

If you could even post a wire that'd be great.

I needs lots of smoothing to look nice I might add.

Starting with what you suggested, then adding another 2 edge loops horizontally and vertically, a bit of tweaking, and I've got a curved screen.
I've checked a couple of older tvs out. Some of them have a relatively sharp curve at the outer edge, then flatter on the front. Some of them just curve gradually out towards the centre. Mine is more of the first type.
Cheers,

For the screen's texture, I wanted to use a ramp, with a black stripe running around the back edge of the screen (like you see on crts, kind of masked off) and create a foil texture for the rest.
Can't get the ramp how I want though (I've just used black and white to show what I mean). With U and V, one goes up and down the screen, one left to right, which makes sense. How can I make it go back to front though?
I've used ramps before and don't remember having to think about this before.
cheers,

Is it something to do with the creation of the screen? I've tried deleting the history, and spun the uvs around, but no luck.
Edit:
It's because when I started the shape, it was offset; so I rotated it. So its U axis is lying on the y plane, instead of the x plane.
Anyone know a workaround for this?
thanks,
gubar

Worked on the texture and the metal material for the dials.
Still got to texture the numericals. Think I might make an indoor ariel next.
Any crits or comments welcomed,

Arran, yeah that's what I need to do next - I'll have it on by my next WIP post.
Neostrider - I know the finish you mean and I had thought about it... in the end though this colour /style reminds me of my first bedroom tv, so I'm going to stick with it simply for that reason.
thanks,
gubar
