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

Yes it is possible to change the strength of your bump map.....Just go to your bump map settings and change the bump depth.....Just play around with it and you will get the right texture. Also, with the skills you have, I think you could get a job easily...Just make a nice reel. I have one crit. You can kick my ass and throw me in a ditch for saying this, but I think the top of the lower lip needs to be the same color as the bottom of the top lip. I hope that makes sense.

Also to randomize the bump you could use a non animated fractal.

hey howard ,where you pick your depth is here :

when you choose your bump map ,your shader will be conected with a- "bump 2d2" which is input from the picture
just double click it ,and it should be there.

sorry...didn't realize other people already answered your question...if you get to the second image...click on the bottom square box (to the right of the "focus" box and to the left of the file name...) and it will take you to the first image

I really like your character Howard. Will you be doing a set for him, like the aquarium?
