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

After I do that I will add some detial to the side of the ship. Metal brackets and other such stuff. Then insetead of putting detial on the other decks I will move onto the masts and try a bit of this rigging.
Slowly but surely
Comments as always are welcome.

Looking very cool. About the windows, I believe lowest windows are around waist height off the deck. This puts the highest at or above head height for higher lighting in the cabin (remember, no electricity, so this staggering of windows created a more balanced lighting).

Well I have another little issue I want to bring up with you. I cut all the holes in the Hull for the gun ports but im getting these strange black areas. Does anyone what's causing them and how I get rid of them?

Thats a vertex normal thing (the dark areas). If your geo is all good - verts merged and no polys inside the stucture (basic nonmanifold stuff) then you can try a few other things. Try going into the EDIT POLYGONS>NORMALS submenu and play around with some of the functions you'll find there like SET TO FACE.
All that aside, your model may render just fine the way it is.
Good luck and good modeling!

I'm also currently modeling a ship (not any specific one as i've taken refrence from various) and came accross the same problem. Fixed it by setting "soften Harden" normals to 68.00 then Polygons -> "Average Vertices" on that areas that came up too sharp.
Hope this helps...
Quick question, on the rigging brackets, how did you punch the three holes (was it a unison boolean) ? an the metal brackets ? where they extruded nurbs circles along a curve and converted to polys ?
Cheers,
Jamie.

At the moment I am in the process of building a new computer and am having a couple of issues with it that I need to get sorted so not a lot on the Maya front im afraid but hopefully (if there are no more problems) I should be back into the swing of things in the next few days.
