Hello All!

Well I just spent the week (re)introducing myself to the glory that is Maya. I decided to jump in with both feet and start with a tutorial from the site. Here is my work on the HK USC tutorial.

The modeling is done but as you can see the texturing/rendering/compositing side needs work. The model is textured as through the final part of the tutorial. However I composited ambient occlusion render over the master color render in photoshop. So I managed to turn the colorful render into a near greyscale version of itself. I also would like to figure out how to change the background color of the render. I'm missing a setting somewhere and going through the render settings in scene 19 of the tutorial to figure out how different my render settings are from the tutorials.

Phenominal tutorial by the way. It helped me really start to get the feel for Maya and taught me a lot of new tricks that will help me out in the future.

Cheers!
