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

Thanks guys user added image
soreel did you model the train in your animation and most importantly how did you animate the wheel and piston motion ?
I do plan to animate this train eventually when finished but the thought of keeping piston and rods and wheels in sync is a bit scarey..lol

Thanks Peltra ...he's an update of the undercarriage.
still lots to do and it's getting complicated and crowded ..hehe.
this is a rendered wire.. and i did notice that not all the wire is visible on the render mostly because I didn't want to set the normals to hard at this time , but you can still get the idea.I will try and post a full train render as soon as I finish the undercarriage.
as always C & C welcome user added image

Very nice!!! love the detail!! and yes I modeled the train. I used MEL expressions to animate the wheels - the idea is to be able to move the train and the wheels move on their own including the pistons.

will save you headaches when you get to the animation - you don't have to key frame every single frame - all you key is the train. everything else is linked as a child or a group.

Hey,

Just for fun, here's a train engine I did that never got textured. I also had it setup to move the wheels automagically, but with driven keys, as I find you don't have to spend time trying to find out the right equation, and I had so many "joints".
