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

ATI vs Nvidia comparison (more bang 4 the $)

I found a good comparison and thought I would pass it
along.

For Me I cant see spending 2 or 3 times the price for
performance increases that are so miniscule
that you can only tell the difference with a bench test.

The big clincher for a lot of people will be the HL2 and source engine performance ati is currently showing against Nvidia. Hate Ati drivers myself and I have been put off their cards because of it, but the results speak for themselves. I'd like to see some 'real' results, not just from Valve before I finally make up my mind though, and by the time I need a new card there will be new ones from both anyway I suppose.

ATI = good cards, crap support
nVidia = decent cards, decent support.

I go with nVidia every time due to the support.

Somehow, I feel this thread will go the way of the Windows/Mac/Apple ones...only ugliness user added image

ATI have taken alot of flak for their drivers (which were until 6 months ago rubbish). But as an owner of an r9700 and between me and my friends we have ~12 machines with ATI 9k-series cards, and I must say they have been performing great. No issues with the drivers or support. I put a Zalman heatpipe cooler on mine, no moving parts completely quiet. I can reccomend ATI, from my own and my friends experience, but your milage may vary.
