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

Using Maya and a SpaceBall?

I am VERY new to using Maya and I wondering if any of you use a Spaceball when modelling? Is it worth buying one?

Cheers
Paul

Used when Modelling to Rotate, move in 3D as opposed to using the Mouse.

Eh Vlad, I have been looking at it too. If you get one, tell me how it feels! Look like an original concept to the mouse related problems.

I'm not using a spaceball but a spacemouse and I couldn't be happier. Had to play a little bit with the settings and work out some driver issues with 3DConnexion but by now the drivers for Maya work very well. Check ebay before you shell out the $500 for a new device. I'll got mine for $65 and $55.

Just looked at the site and then went to ebay. Currently 2 available to Australia, both in Germany. I might bit on them.
