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

DT - Female Andriod: Alexia

Mirek03 got me thinking about subd modeling in Maya again.

I had worked on this model some time ago but never finsihed it. I was new to Maya and subd tools in Maya kinda suck. I dusted off the cd's last night, ordered out for pizza and went on an orgy of modeling!

Here are some renders of the bits I completed. I will start on the head soon.

assembled and adjusted body parts

I assembled and scaled the body parts. I adjusted the following:

- thinned and lengthened upper arm
- thinned upper thigh
- thinned abdommen in xz
- scaled hips xyz

Overall the proportions seem correct to me now. Please let me know if anything jumps out at you.

Alexia: Model B

I was not pleased with the hipjoint. A simple nurbs cyclinder seemed to simple and would present problems for rigging, so I improved the design to a ball joint while maintaining the inorganic feel.

It also looks more femanin the the bulky tube stuffed in a hole.

What do you think?

UPDATE: 5/1/07

HAHA I just noticed her feet are reversed in this shot....
