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

This is looking like a great level. Well done
Can't wait to see the textures go on.

I have completed the basic design of the elevators finally and have finally gotten around to finishing the room with all the cyndrilical tanks. It's hard to find time to work on this thing with school.....

cool level
I have enjoyed watching this take shape, looks awesome already. !!
And thanks for adding the comments, I'm trying to understand what this 'Freeze transformations' does at the moment, will have to wait until I'm off work again, then I will look into it more.
Regards Scraggy

Difficult to understand maybe, but try it a few times and you'll figure out what it's good for.

The hologram projection will be similar to the ones found in games such as Metroid Prime and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Basically, it's just a sphere with a targa image that is for the most part fully transparent for the exception of a few items such as planet orbit paths, planets, and other various things.
Don't worry. The red, yellow, and blue colorings for the elevator are not permanent. They serve a different purpose for an experiment I did which I will not explain now. Although the elevator system is deprived of a few walls, it does actually work in-game. The doors are located on the yellow and blue pieces. The actual elevator does not have any doors, however it does have a rectangle entance and exit which you cannot see in the images I have provided below. It's sort of hard to explain, but when you are in the player's view, you won't notice the difference.
The cyndrilical tank room is almost done. I have added railings and the tanks themselves, which took longer than one would have expected.
As for the hallways, which technically are not a part of this challenge, I deleted the entire system I had built since all copies were not instanced and rebuilt it with instanced copies since that's what Mike said would happen in the game anyway. All duplicates of any object are instanced. The same goes for all vertical railing pieces. I erased them all and instance copied them over again.

Personally, I enjoy designing multiplayer levels rather than regular mission levels because you can embed more stratigic points in the level for ambushes, sniper points, basic combat, etc. The solo missions are usually very linear, which means you have to have some kind of a plot to follow for the objectives, which translates into specially designed areas, which cannot be done unless you have a plot line to follow.
Anyway, off to work again.

I don't know if I'll be able to finish this thing in time. I have so much to do in so little time! 1/3 of the month is already gone! Hopefully, I will be able to give you all an update tomorrow and will get a chance to do some work.
