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

Well... I got some sculpting done, haven't subdivided it yet... still blocking in some forms. Was at work yesterday for 13 hrs, so I didn't feel like do anything but sleeping when I got back at 23:30

No real work done yet. Still have the legs to block out properly.

Dave, My favorite anatomy book of ALL time is Burne Hogarth's 'Dynamic Anatomy'... Linkage

Other than that book, and another one by Burne. I find most of my reference online. Whether it's bodybuilders or MMA fighter, there's tons of reference out there.

Bullet, cheers, yeah it was just a one-off bit of overtime... couldn't turn it down.

Murambi, Yeah at the moment I use a Wacom Graphire4 that my parents got me for my 18th birthday... that was few years ago though... I'm actually looking to get a new Wacom intuos4 now (courtesy of above-mentioned overtime user added image )

Cheers.

At least you are using your overtime money wisely mate....some people pee it up the wall. Glad to see you arent one of them!
