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

Egg Challenge - Stwert

I like the idea of the challenge, so I'll be entering and focusing primarily on lighting.

My eggs are huddled around a tealight campfire on a kitchen counter telling omelette stories.

Instead of wooden planks, you could put them on kitchen knives user added image

You could also convey some individual personality by the way you rotate them into the scene. (Eg. One hiding behind the other, one slouching, etc)


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

They're popsicle sticks user added image
Yeah, I'll see how I can add more personality, just roughly placed them in for the moment. I think they'll be different sizes too.

Was hoping to go to SIGGRAPH, but it was the annual AMI conference.
(Association for Medical Illustrators)

Now I'm on holidays, so I don't have Maya access, but I'll try to get this done before the deadline.

This looks like its developing nicely. I really like the idea haha user added image I could imagine you using a nice use of shadows/silhouettes of whisks and other 'scary' kitchen implements lurking in background... I hope you manage to get this completed on time!

Yes, I'm still in this! Update with pipecleaner arms, and camera positioning. Just temp lighting for now. Not sure how I'll do the candle flame yet.
