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

You've been at this how long?

The placement in the photograph is perfect. The skin is much better, and i didn't notice the glitch previously. So whatever it was, good looking out. Perfect entry!

Hey thanks for the feed back

I would love to put little claws on the guy but I sort of planned for him to have frog like feet. I see now that little claws would look cool but I have run outta time really.
The background is just a photo unfortunately. I would have liked to develop a proper environment bec I have some great foliage and wood textures thanks to a mate of mine (ta Jonny T) but bec I took so long on getting that blinking texture right I sort of blew it.
What I did do tho was load the photo onto a makeshift image plane in Maya, then try to match the lighting on the dinorat as closley as I could. I then loaded the background image into a spot light and also projected it onto the dinorat. I then rendered it and dropped it on top of the photo in Photoshop just making a few minor adjustments.
I am really happy with the result. It is actually the best model I have ever made.
Thanks for your comments Pony! Hanging for your final!
Dae! Like I already said... Someone give that guy a job!
Rubber Chicken - Thanks for the name brother - where's your entry??

Not even a toe nail. I am a complete NOOB. I have a WIP I am posting on my birthday next month - Promised Pony, Airworks, and 3D. I'd rather be judged on my concept than the maya work. I am inspired / intimidated by your work tho -
