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

sorry the question is confusing, what i am trying to do is extremely simple. i have a series of panels, and would like to create a line that passes through the center pivot of each line. in this way later on i would be able to create some kind of structure for them. i will try to post some pics later on. i know i can draw it manually but i have a hundreds of them. in simple words i want to generate a curve with points on each object. (locator)

i already found a small script thanks even though,

string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
vector $positions[];
string $command = "curve ";
int $i = 0;
for($i = 0; $i<size($sel); $i++)
{
$positions[$i] = `pointPosition $sel[$i]`;
$command = $command+"-p "+$positions[$i]+" ";
}
eval($command);
