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

Mini

Hey Guys

Decided to model the "classic" Mini car, I'm going for the Cooper style but as i'm struggeling to find good reference photos of one exact model I think its going to be a bit of a hybrid version rarther than one year, or set model.

The colour is just used to work on the model and is def not the final paintwork (its just a std phong with a basic 3 point light set up to evaluate the model's lumps and bumps in the low poly version)

Cheers man.

I'm using some blueprints for the basic outline and have been trawing the web for good hi res pictures for the details, which is where the slight problem is.

Slow progress, not had much time on my hands for Maya, but added the roof and played about with the materials a bit.

Any Crits/Comments appreciated

Cheers

Your modeling is awesome but im not to keen on the render and thats mainly because i dont like hdri rendering no more haha but man this model is lookins sweet. I cant render for SH*T lol so i always have to do screen shots lol so I have to take my own advice
