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

Fun lego project
I was inspired by DJblazers little lego project that he did a while back, and another lego project that I saw over on another site, and I've decided to do one myself, purely for fun (and coz lego is cool!) Unfortunately, I'm doing a police vehicle too (like blazer, but I've asked his permission so he doesn't think I'm copying him) - it was the only non-star wars related lego set in Woolworths I could get my hands on!!
I'm going to do it properly, and build it up block by block like you really would. I'd like some ideas on how I could show the car being built up....I'm not sure on this part. At the mo I'm just modelling the blocks though, here's what I've got so far:

I think it helps a lot that you have the real life 'car' to really model all the seperate parts well in maya. I have seen other lego maya projects, but very few show the actual lego blocks and parts. I'm looking forward to see how it will all fit together and look like when it's more finished.
I guess you texture mapped the 'LEGO' sign on every knob?
Keep it up!

Not in the same league, but my 5 year old son built these using Lego Digital Designer. Great tool if you want to see what sort of Lego Parts are available.
Great looking render by the way.
Cheers
Paul
