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

No- 9 hours is f*cking insane length for that.

But w/e. Oh, about the GI AND 2ndary Diff. Bounces- set the bounces to like 4 and turn the GI acc. to real low.

Anyway, soon I will release my own GI raytracer, and I'll let peeps test it on Maya scenes... I'll write it this weekend.

I hope that can render stuff like that in less than 9 hours...
(im working my a$$ off trying to implement Bidirectional Path Tracing (used in Mental Ray) and even possibly Metropolis Light Transport...(Metropolis is the most advanced algorithm used commercailly)

anyway-

Cool! user added image
