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

mtmckinley-March/April (MOD)

Well, I'm in the mood to actually make something, so I'm going to see if I can throw something together in my spare time. Here's an old idea that's been rattling around in the brain:

https://www.mtmckinley.net/work/Steam...unk_robot1.jpg

Still have some sketching to go. The idea is it's a steam-golem. Big furnace in its gut with flames coming out the top. Going to have some steam exhause ports and little guages and wires and such. His arms end in large devices that use mysterious crystals as a means of focusing heat into a type of projectile energy beam.

Hopefully I can find the time for this. user added image I'm liking the idea!

nice idea of having the steam vents around the head and the leg gears will look cool if you animated them user added image
