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

Whats the differance?
Ive still not really tried my hand at Maya having only had it for a few weeks, ive done a few of the video tutorials from this site to get me started, but me making my own stuff is not going to well.
So just a question asking for some help i suppose, might be where im going wrong.

Try the simple things like primitive shapes and editing the cv's on them th make a basic shape.
What I found was fun when I got going was to make a nurbs cylinder and to try to make a basic arm shape..kina bigger at the top and getting thinner on the way down.
helped with the cv editing also... plus its amazing what really basic shapes can do... make a big cube, cut 4 holes in and you have a house shape.
Try then to rotate a shape around for the roof....kinda simple but fun.
But dont set your goals to big to start...go easy, if you need more tutorials to help you join the VIP area
There are great examples of simple shapes for cool looking things...for example the "tie fighter" was just 1 sphere! just extruded out, then 2 cubes for the wings! as for what modeling to start with...well maybe start with polys as generally people find these a little easier to get to grips with
hope this helps

hello simon i would recommend learning polys first, cos basically, its a lot easier to visualize cos with nurbs, the curves dont nessecarily follow the points, kinda thing, i just find that harder than polys
but polys do take a while to master

They came out fairly well, and I learned a lot before hitting the next projects. We didn't even touch characters for a looong time.
