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 can find it at Alias' site. https://www.alias.com

It's somewhere there, but I cant seem to find it at the moment.

Does anyone else find their new site a little confusing to navigate?

Hrmm. uhh, yeah well I uhh,.... :p

Sorry guys. I hadn't done anything on it recently because I was trying my hand at some low poly stuff as pictured below. But I'll be done with it today so I'll jump back on the freighter. It's almost done actually, just a few more items to add then texture. I did the low poly stuff to try out some texturing ideas for the big guy. Updates will be coming along shortly. user added image

1. The good guy looks like a modified version of the spaceship tutorial in the Learning Maya handbook.

2. The bad guy looks ok. Kinda reminds me of the talon fighters in Stargate.

3. Your images are once again oversized. Remember, 640x480. Maya IS capable of rendering in that size you know. Just go into the render globals and under RESOLUTION, look for 640x480. OR... If you really have to render that big, then import your image into Photoshop and resize it to 640x480 before posting it. Especially in someone elses thread.

4. In the future, please make your own thread and direct me to it.
