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

January Challenge: Before and After-Bullet

Ok Jay...Im in.

I havent found an image yet! Im still looking...but I will go with the idea of my Spitfire in a hangar/field scene ok?? Im still looking for some good images of WW2 kinda places.

Here are a few things I will build for the scene...the drum...and pump...a couple of chairs and maybe a table...to give it an 'alive' feel. I still dont know how the hell to composite but I will try.

Cheers bullet user added image

good luck all

Not a bad start bullet. The back of the chairs look a little too thin at the moment. I actually figured you'd end up modeling a bridge to put in a photo, haha.


Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!

Nothing wrong with the chairs all I am saying that all the picture I have seen ever chair was differant no sets, If you think about it the chairs they had were scrounged from the locals in that area. I did try to find you some main photos but not much luck...........dave

Thanks Jay,

I will do a couple of teacups and the hose to the plane...then find an image somewhere and try the tut you did (thanks a heap BTW)....and then texture the objects properly. I will get the angles and lighting right first and finish the textures last...should have enough time

cheers bullet
