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

April Challenge - mtmckinley - MOD

Hey, guys! user added image

Hopefully I'll find the time to work on this. I've got a pretty cool idea, I think, and just need to get it sketched out. user added image

Once again, I'll be going low-poly, but this time giving myself a 1000 poly limit! heh heh heh

Well, my original idea didn't turn out as good as I'd have hoped, so instead, I think I'll model the guy I found in one of my art books. user added image The (crappy) sketches are just for modeling purposes... I'll mostly be looking at the original drawing.

This one's gonna be quite a doozy if I can pull it under 1000 tris! user added image

Well, I'll tell you, but no one go and steal it, cuz I might still do it. I'd much rather use my own ideas. user added image Just gotta get it working on paper. lol I've done about 3 or 4 sketches and not liked any of them.

My original idea... A Demon Nazi Warrior! user added image A killed Nazi from WWII has become a demon minion of Satan. user added image mwa ha ha!

Stinkin' Nazis... user added image

oh wow a demon nazi is a wicked idea! It rings a bell actually, im sure ive seen a similar drawing somewhere. Anyways, this is one model I cant wait to see, if u choose it that is - especially with a 1000 poly limit! Good luck Mike!!
