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

October Challenge - Gazzamataz - Newbie?

Well, due to Mr McKinley's vicious, pugnacious and despotic decrees I find myself entering into the October Competition.

This will be a learning curve for me as I have never really animated properly in Maya... or anything else for that matter user added image

I shall be using my games character 'Loki' as he was dubbed and possibly some other creations of mine - if I have the time...

Oh my god what have I let myself in for! I won't be posting a storyboard cos that will be spoiling the suprise of the finished animation - plus I don't want you all laughing at my efforts:p

Teaser

O.K. I couldn't resist putting this little teaser together cos I wanted to get a little practice at animating in Maya.

It is slighty large at 2.5mb but I couldn't seem to get it any smaller - sorry to the 56k gang out there. It is in *.mov format using the Sorenson 3 codec.

Enjoy! BTW I have spent a bit of time rigging my other characters but i should have a finished item by 31st October...

Whoops! Just realised that the posting limit is 2mb user added image

Have had another go at compressing it and got it down to 1.8mb - it's amazing what you can do when you try harder ain't it user added image

Dankyou, dankyou, dankyou... It was fun putting this flick together - very much a learning curve but an enjoyable one!

I could still spend hours ponsing about on making the animation real smooth but I have a competition to finish and as you can see a rather grumpy actor user added image

Nice final, I like the big green guy - the bit where he pops poor Loki in his mouth is very well done. Cool.

Errr I wasn't sure either... I did ask and they said that the mods would decide!

Thing is I am a bit of a newbie with Maya but I have done animating before in my other program Animation Master, and I wouldn't consider myself to be a newbie in that program.

Newbie animator no, newbie-ish Maya user perhaps - let the mods decide.

I'll wait for the lambrettas to start turning up - I bet Kevin will have the biggest scooter user added image
