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

Realism-carrot juice

I have decided to join and model a katana. my reference (the real thing, not a model) is leather wrapped, with lots of nice and intricate detail. I have worked on it for about an hour so far, and I have a preliminary image ready.

Are you sure its a valid format? Best bet is to go with a jpeg. Also yes, when you make a new post (reply) then at the bottom where it has the box and the browse beside it, click that and navigate to the pic. Could possibly be the wrong format, cookies disabled (eh, maybe), security on your system, or your through some kinda router or hub and you need to foreward certain ports user added image. Hope you get it working though seeing I want to see your progress, i love swords, katanas especially.

hey mister moderator man,
I was browsing through the futuristic robot competition where I noticed that there was some kind of eagle thing with only a final render-no progress images. since I couldn't post for awhile, the pictures I posted were the latest...
do you need my progress images?
if you need a view of the modelling window, which I will happily provide, you'll have to tell me how to do a screen capture of the window (not a render) because I don't know how.

to capture the screen press ALT-Printscreen (printscreen is found above insert and delete keys)

this puts a copy of the current window in the clipboard - you can paste into a new photshop etc document and crop it down to whatever you want.


cheers

Yea, a wireframe would be nice user added image. Please, I am aware of the other models and will take that into account. Just remember, that the reason i ask that is because some would just take a model they made over a long period of time, and post a final render, or just another image on the web. A wireframe would show me you made it, and the progress shots would of been even better from the start of the competition. Anyways, its fine this time.. but now that you know how to post images, hopefully it will be fine from now on. BTW, my nickname is M user added image.
