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

Nobby comes to life!
It's great to start doing some animation again, even if it is silly - most important I did it in Maya!
BTW I've decided to call this creature 'Nobby', in case ya didn't guess.

First off I have just been banned from the Animation:Master Mailing List for being honest... bit annoyed about that - looks like I am here to stay at Simply Maya.
Anyway it was fun, and it was a little easier than I thought. I have been studying the 'Learning Maya: Character Rigging & Animation' book. That's where all the controls and riggng have come from. I have been doing this to compare A:M with Maya, A:M has some cool tools but it has been a buggy bastard, whereas Maya hasn't crashed on me yet.
I am about to embark on learning Blends Shape to do some facial animation then I will produce a little movie to show you all!
Like you site m8 lots of resources!

Now when I rotate the head the clusters distort as shown in the pic. I have tried both parenting the clusters to the bone that the head is rotating from and unparenting the clusters but they still distort. It is as though the pivots by which the clusters are rotating are not in acting in their own local rotational axis...
What am I doing wrong I cannot figure it out.

I'm not surprised at all. The AM community is very arrogant and fascist about their software. They don't take any form of criticism well at all. That's one reason why I stopped using AM. That, and it crashed too much.Originally posted by gazzamataz

I have attached a final render of the scene for fun and anyone who is interested. I have noticed that the shader I have used for the skin is not moving with knobby's skin, I don't think I have parented the 3dTexture correctly. Thing is it looks quite good like that, sort of moody...

Knobby File
I thought I could send an attachment on a private e-mail but cannot seem to work it out. Please have a look at the attached file if it is not too big and not too much trouble. Indeed by posting it here anyone can look at it and download it!
Have fun everyone!

I examined the setup for the eyelids, and as it is right now, you can't simply re-parent the eyelid control groups to the neck bone. You would probably have to redo the SDK's in order to make them work.
I'm too tired right now to really troubleshoot it properly. I'll take a look at it this weekend and see what I can figure out.
